Match Predict – Handicap (+2.5) for Timberwolves
The Cleveland Cavs have been playing worse defensively recently. Bickerstaff’s men are now conceding more. The Cavaliers will have a hard time stopping Minnesota’s strong offence. We don’t think they will be able to do that. It’s very likely that the win will go to the visitors.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Cleveland Cavaliers vs Minnesota Timberwolves
Cleveland Cavaliers:
The Cleveland Cavaliers continue to hold on to fourth place in the East, but their recent results are not encouraging. Bickerstaff’s men are losing too often. For example, before the break, they lost to the Philadelphia 76ers (93-103) and Atlanta Hawks (116-124), and then they also lost to the Detroit Pistons (103-106).

Despite all the setbacks, the Cavaliers managed to break their streak. In their last game, they beat the Washington Wizards (92-86). This success should help the Cleveland players to believe in their strength.
Minnesota Timberwolves:
The Minnesota Timberwolves continue to fight for a playoff spot, but the Wolves can’t catch up with sixth-ranked Denver. They are four wins behind the Nuggets. Eliminating that difference will not be easy.

It is worth noting that the Timberwolves have been unstable recently. They have lost four of their seven games. In those matches, they lost to the Sacramento Kings, Toronto Raptors, Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia 76ers. Not all the opponents were strong, but Finch’s charges were defeated.
