January 18th, 2020

Mike McDermott Mike McDermott

Toronto Raptors at Minnesota Timberwolves Free Prediction

In the Raptors’ last game, they comfortably covered the 1-point spread against the Washington Wizards, 140-111. The gameโ€™s total points (251) came in well over the O/U total of 213. Toronto’s 0.692 effective field goal percentage was their largest advantage over Washington, who had a mark of 0.534. The Raptors’ mark was above their season average of 0.525. Toronto was lifted by Norman Powell, who was the top scorer from either team with 28 points on 10-for-17 shooting.

The Timberwolves lost a close one to the Indiana Pacers in their last game, 116-114, despite being 4.5-point favorites. The gameโ€™s combined points (230) finished over the O/U total of 217.5. Indiana’s effective field goal percentage was their largest strength over Minnesota. The Pacers had a rate of 0.610 (above their season average of 0.527), while the Timberwolves posted a mark of 0.551. Karl-Anthony Towns had a good performance for Minnesota, leading the team in scoring with 27 points on 9-for-21 shooting.

After the Raptors won both matchups against the Timberwolves last season, this will be the first matchup of the year between these two teams. In the last game, Toronto won 120-100. The Raptors had a much better offensive rebounding percentage (18.9 vs. 9.6) and had a much better effective field goal percentage (0.614 vs. 0.489).

Toronto holds records of 27-14 straight up (SU) and 21-18-1 against the spread (ATS). There does not appear to be a trend for games involving the Raptors in regards to the projected point total, as there has been an even split between games finishing over and under.

Meanwhile, Minnesota owns records of 15-26 SU and 16-22-2 ATS. Vegas has typically been fairly accurate when predicting totals of Timberwolves games, with 21 overs compared to 19 unders.

Both teams have had a player take their game to the next level over their last five games. Serge Ibaka (19 points,10.8 rebounds) has been stellar for the Raptors while Jarrett Culver (16 points,5.8 rebounds) has made great contributions to the Timberwolves.

Minnesota might struggle to put up points as they clash against one of the NBA’s best defenses. Toronto currently ranks second in defensive efficiency while the Timberwolves rank 23rd in offensive efficiency.
