Venue:	TD Garden
Prediction:	Boston Celtics
Bookmaker:	1xbet

 

The Minnesota Timberwolves currently sit 10th in the Western Conference standings, just four games away from the top-placed Denver Nuggets. Offensively, they averaged 114.9 points per game while shooting 49 percent from the field. That’s 11th in points per game and third on the team in field goal percentage.

The Celtics are now in second place in the standings of the Eastern Conference, as they trail the top-placed Bucks by 0.5 points per game. Offensively, they averaged 118 points per game while shooting 47.7 percent from the field. That’s the second-most points scored and the 10th-highest field goal percentage per game.

The Boston Celtics have the highest adjusted offensive rating and the 9th-lowest adjusted defensive rating. They will appear on both courts ends and score enough points to fill that gap. Minnesota also ranks 22nd in points per game, and their opponents have been raining down from beyond the arc. Boston would start hot from three and slowly open the gap throughout the game.

The Timberwolves rank just 17th in adjusted offensive rating. They will have a hard time shooting consistently, and the Boston Celtics will bounce back in this game. The Celtics, one of the top three teams in the league, will bounce back aggressively in this game. Tatum and Brown will dominate, covering the gap at home.
