The Timberwolves are coming into this game with a 44-19 record this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games. They have won their last 2 straight as well as 5 of their last 7 games. They have been very good on the road this season at 21-11 and they have also won their last 5 straight games on the road. They are going up against a Cavaliers team that is 40-22 this season but they have not been playing well in their recent games. The Cavaliers have been banged up recently with some key pieces out of their lineup and it has shown in their results as they have lost 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 games. They are coming off of a loss in their last game against the Hawks and they are 21-11 at home this season but they have been very inconsistent there recently, losing 3 of their last 6 games at home. The Timberwolves are on a B2B here but they have played in this spot quite a bit over the last month and have had no problem winning games in the 2nd leg, winning the 2nd leg of their last 3 straight B2B situations in the month of February alone. The Timberwolves are going to have some confidence here after beating the Pacers without KAT in their last game and they have a lot of depth as well so they will have no trouble trying to take advantage of the Cavaliers missing 3 of their starters here. The Timberwolves will cover the spread in this game.
