Toronto Raptors vs Minnesota Timberwolves Betting Preview

The Toronto Raptors, fresh off an upset victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, will face the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center on Saturday night at 8:00 PM ET. Both teams enter the matchup with a 1-1 record, but the Timberwolves are heavily favored, boasting a -12.0 spread and a commanding -660 Moneyline. This suggests an implied win probability of 84% for Minnesota, while the Raptors sit at +510 with just a 16% chance of pulling off another upset.

The Timberwolves have been in solid form, winning 31 of their last 50 games, and will look to capitalize on home-court advantage. Meanwhile, the Raptors have struggled, losing 37 of their last 50 matchups. Their recent win against the 76ers was a surprise, as Toronto was a 5.0-point underdog with only a 35% chance of victory.

A significant factor in this game is Toronto's back-to-back schedule, having played just the day before. This quick turnaround could pose a challenge for the Raptors, as fatigue might set in, giving the Timberwolves an additional edge.

For those eyeing player prop bets, Donte DiVincenzo's Points, Rebounds, and Assists (PRA) market has garnered considerable attention. The line opened at Over 16.5 PRA (-125) and has since moved to 17.5 (-105), indicating sharp bettors are leaning towards the Over.

With the Timberwolves' recent strong performances and the Raptors dealing with limited rest, Minnesota appears poised to extend their winning ways. However, Toronto's recent upset win shows they shouldn't be underestimated.
