Toronto Raptors Vs Minnesota Timberwolves Basketball Preview (10/26-2024-2025-2024). The Toronto Raptors and Minnesota Timberwolves kickoff their regular season on Friday with their home opener against each other, although there may be issues concerning two key members, RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, due to injuries.
Barrett is currently dealing with a shoulder injury and Quickley may have pelvic issues which will keep him out for this game against Minnesota Timberwolves. Their absence would be devastating blow to Toronto Raptors as these players provide most of their scoring and playmaking ability in battle situations against Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves have made significant strides this year since making major offseason acquisitions like Rudy Gobert and Anthony Edwards part of their lineup. While they boast a more effective defense, in order to win this game they will need to find ways of scoring some points as well.
Last season, the Timberwolves hit the over in 49% of their home games played against opponents scoring more than 118 points, proving an excellent under-play here as the Raptors struggled to score freely last year and are likely to continue doing so this season.
