Will the Timberwolves extend their winning streak?

The Dallas Mavericks will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night. The duel already took place a few days ago in Minneapolis and ended with a 111-105 victory for coach Chris Finch’s selection. The home side therefore have a score to settle in the upcoming clash on 22.12.2021 from 02:30!

Dallas Mavericks – Statistics & current form

The Texans are having an average season so far – as can be seen from their win percentage of around 48 percent. With Luka Doncic out, the team’s best shooter is currently missing. Against the Timberwolves, the “Rookie of the Year” from 2019 will also miss again. Without the Slovenian, the Mavs are lacking especially on the offensive end.

The Mavs are only 21st in the NBA’s offensive rating. Coach Jason Kidd’s men cannot rely on a home bonus either: They have lost four of their past five home games and their win percentage in home games is only slightly higher at 50 per cent compared to all games.

Minnesota Timberwolves – Statistics & current form

The Timberwolves are in good form at the moment. Since four game days, only victories have been recorded. Thanks to the successful phase of the season, Minnesota also recently passed their upcoming opponents in the table in the West and are now in eighth place.

For the franchise, which has only made it to the postseason once in the past 17 seasons, this ranking represents a very good interim result. A guarantor for the current success is Karl-Anthony Towns.

The centre was regularly injured in the last few years, but at the moment he has been free of complaints for a longer period of time and his potential is immediately apparent. For example, Towns delivered a double-double in points and rebounds in 14 of the 29 league games! As a reward for his good performances, KAT was also recently awarded “Player of the Week” in the West.

Dallas Mavericks – Minnesota Timberwolves Tip

Dallas seem to be struggling at the moment and can only compensate for the loss of Luka Doncic in phases. Instead, the visitors travel with a series of four victories and defeated their upcoming opponents on the last matchday – albeit in front of their own crowd.

For the game between the Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves, betting on an away win is worth considering. Karl-Anthony Towns in particular is in fantastic form in the visitors’ kit. For the last eleven games, the centre has always scored at least 20 points and has always been a reliable player on both sides of the court.

With the added loss of his counterpart Kristaps Porzingis to the Mavs, Towns should be unstoppable especially under the boards and in the paint. Comeon offers betting odds of 1.90 on the Mavericks and Timberwolves in their predictions for the clash.
