Timberwolves vs Raptors Betting Pick
This game will be played at Scotiabank Arena at 7:30 PM ET on Wednesday, March 30, 2022.
Why Bet The Raptors:
โ While the Timberwolves have dropped three of their last four contests, the Raptors have won four of their previous five. Toronto has played very well lately, going 9-2 SU and 8-3 ATS in its last 11 games overall. Over their previous five showings, the Raptors have recorded the fourth-best net rating in the NBA (+10.2).ย
โ The Raptors have held their opponents below a 105-point mark in five of their previous eight games. During that stretch, Toronto has registered the third-best defensive rating in the NBA, allowing 109.5 points per 100 possessions. Also, the Raptors have allowed their rivals to shoot only 44.6% from the field and 34.8% from beyond the 3-point line. In a 103-91 home loss to the Raptors earlier in the season, the Timberwolves made only 39.0% of their field goals and 23.8% of their 3-pointers (10-for-42).ย ย ย

โ Wednesdayโs clash between the T-Wolves and Raptors should be a tight one, and Iโm looking for Pascal Siakam to be a key factor down the stretch. Siakam has been unstoppable in his last ten appearances, tallying 27.9 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game while shooting 54.9% from the field and 47.4% from beyond the 3-point line. In that 12-point victory in Minneapolis, the one-time All-Star posted a line of 17 points, nine boards, nine assists, and a couple of steals.ย
Minnesota Timberwolves
The T-Wolves opened their four-game road trip last Sunday, suffering a heavy 134-112 defeat at the surging Boston Celtics. Minnesotaโs defense collapsed and yielded 72 first-half points, while on the other side of the ball, the Timberwolves tallied only 19 points in the second quarter.ย ย
The Timberwolves are now trailing the sixth-seeded Denver Nuggets by a couple of games. With six games to go, No. 7 Minnesota has a difficult task to avoid the play-in tournament.ย
Toronto Raptors
The Raptors aim for their fourth win in a row. Last Monday, they barely outlasted the injury-depleted Boston Celtics 115-112 in overtime, failing to cover an 8.5-point spread. Pascal Siakam went off for 40 points, 13 rebounds, three steals, and a couple of blocks, while OG Anunoby and Fred VanVleet added 14 points each.ย
Toronto is tied with Chicago for the No. 5 seed in the East, but the seventh-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers are only one game behind them. The Raptors will play five of their final seven games at Scotiabank Arena.ย
