Toronto Raptors @ Minnesota Timberwolves Odds
Raptors Aim to Continue Winning Ways in Minnesota
Toronto has won five of its last six games and is now just 1.5 games out of first place in the Eastern Conference. With Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam leading the way, the Raptors have been one of the most impressive teams in the league over the past few weeks. They'll look to continue their winning ways on Saturday night when they take on the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves have been struggling lately, losing four of their last five games. They're now 10th in the Western Conference and just one game ahead of the Portland Trail Blazers for the final play-in spot. Karl-Anthony Towns has been playing well, but he hasn't been getting enough help from his teammates. D'Angelo Russell has been in a slump, and the Timberwolves' bench has been one of the worst in the league. They'll be the underdog in this game.
The Raptors are the favorites to win this game, but the Timberwolves are always a tough team to play at home. This should be a close game, but the Raptors should be able to pull out the win.
