Minnesota Timberwolves vs Toronto Raptors Basketball Preview - 11-21-2024
The Minnesota Timberwolves look to end their 21-game road losing streak against an opponent desperate not to fall further back into Eastern Conference cellar. The Toronto Raptors look forward to keeping pace with Minnesota as both squads make for compelling viewing in an Eastern Conference battle royale.
Minnesota won an exciting 112-101 home victory against Sacramento Kings and it may finally be showing signs of their offseason moves paying off, though the Timberwolves must prove they are more than a one-hit wonder in this league.
Raptors fans are hoping for an improved showing against the shorthanded 76ers on Tuesday night, especially on defense, where they rank second in offensive rebounding and third in second-chance points.
This will be their inaugural meeting this season and the over/under for this match-up stands at 211.2.
Minnesota and Toronto have had success when it comes to taking three-point shots, and have shown good efficiency when making them. That trend should continue here as both teams tend to make at least some threes when shooting them.
Due to Kelly Olynyk's absence, Jakob Poeltl should see more playing time for the Raptors. He can help them cover this game by shooting well from both inside and outside.
