Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-5.5) for Grizzlies – 1.80.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Match Points Under 230.5 – 2.55.
The Minnesota Timberwolves showed by their play that they are ready to fight. They approach the first round of the playoffs in good spirits and without losses, but they will face one of the leaders in the West and that is no easy task. The Timberwolves will obviously try to put up a good fight.
The Memphis Grizzlies have had plenty of time to regain their strength and prepare for the contest. The team is focused on creating a result and there’s no secret about it. In our opinion, the home team will confirm their status as favourites.
It’s no secret that the Bears and Timberwolves play attacking and aggressive basketball. They didn’t make the playoffs just to sit on the defensive end.

The Memphis Grizzlies had a fantastic regular season, as evidenced by their second place in the Western Conference. They left the top teams, such as Golden State and Utah, behind, but the most important thing is to prove themselves in the playoffs.
The Memphis Grizzlies have slowed somewhat lately, but there was the impression that Taylor Jenkins’s men were just saving their energy for the play-offs. The game will be played at home, where the Grizzlies are extremely confident and will take the court as a favourite.
In that game against the Celtics, John Konchar scored 17 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists.

The Timberwolves and their fans can be happy with the result because the team was in the playoffs a long time ago and even then did not achieve a significant result. Of course, it’s a different story now and the opponent in the first round is not a weak one.
The Minnesota Timberwolves played just one play-in game, facing the Clippers (109-104). It was noticeable how motivation moved Chris Finch’s guys, with Anthony Edwards and Russell D’Angelo simply tearing up the Clippers’ defence. Certainly, such a performance deserves praise.
In the last game against the Clippers, Anthony Edwards scored 30 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
