The Minnesota Timberwolves have won two of three so far on a four-game homestand and have a prime opportunity to chalk up another win against a John Wall-less Washington Wizards club on Tuesday.
- The total has gone OVER in the Wizards’ last three games against the Timberwolves.
- The Timberwolves are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven games on Tuesday.
- The Wizards are 1-4 SU and ATS in their last five games with two days off between games.
Wall is expected to miss about two more weeks with a left knee injury, and his return is badly needed by the Wizards right now. Washington has lost four of its last five and is hoping platelet injections will settle down the inflammation in Wall’s knee in order to keep him from experiencing a longer absence.
The T-wolves are coming off a 119-108 victory over the Phoenix Suns thanks to 32 points and 12 boards by center Karl-Anthony Towns – good enough for an NBA-leading 16th double-double. Power forward Taj Gibson produced 16 points and a season-best 14 rebounds against the Suns for his seventh double-double of the campaign.
To say this series has been evenly matched would be a massive understatement. The teams split last season’s two meetings, and each squad has won eight of the past 16 matchups. The Timberwolves have also gone UNDER the total in 10 of their last 13 contests, while the Wizards have gone below the closing total in nine of their last 11.
