Minnesota enters this matchup with the stronger overall record and one of the better home records in the league. The Timberwolves have been playing excellent basketball recently with five straight wins and their offense has been producing at a high level. While Orlando has been competitive, Minnesota’s scoring ability and home-court advantage should allow them to control the pace and eventually pull away.
