Brooklyn @ Minnesota
Current Records: Brooklyn 29-16; Minnesota 22-23
What to Know
The Minnesota Timberwolves will be returning home after a two-game road trip. They will take on the Brooklyn Nets at 8 p.m. ET Sunday at Target Center after having had a few days off. The Timberwolves have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with Brooklyn and are hoping to record their first win since Dec. 30 of 2019.
Minnesota received a tough blow this past Wednesday as they fell 134-122 to the Atlanta Hawks. Minnesota was up 42-26 at the end of the first quarter but couldn’t hold on to the lead. Despite the defeat, they got a solid performance out of point guard D’Angelo Russell, who had 31 points and five assists.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn strolled past the San Antonio Spurs with points to spare this past Friday, taking the game 117-102. Brooklyn’s point guard James Harden did his thing and dropped a triple-double on 37 points, 11 dimes, and ten boards. The Beard now has eight triple-doubles this season.
Barring any buzzer beaters, the Timberwolves are expected to win a tight contest. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past two games, so buyers beware.
Brooklyn’s victory lifted them to 29-16 while Minnesota’s loss dropped them down to 22-23. We’ll see if the Nets can repeat their recent success or if Minnesota bounces back and reverse their fortune.
