Minnesota Timberwolves are expected to control the game once again, especially if Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle are available. Memphis may start competitively, but depth and fatigue are likely to hurt them in the second half.
Predicted Score:
Minnesota Timberwolves 121 – 110 Memphis Grizzlies
This matchup strongly favors Minnesota due to form, health, and overall balance. Memphis will need an exceptional shooting night to stay competitive, but all signs point toward another Timberwolves win as they continue to strengthen their playoff position in the Western Conference.
