Minnesota Timberwolves – Statistics & current form

Minnesota have already secured home advantage once by winning the first match-up. Head coach Chris Finch, however, could not be satisfied with his team’s recent performance.

An example of the significantly weaker performance of the franchise from the Northwest Division compared to the first duel was the collective performance of the offense.

They produced only 30 successful throws and had 14 fewer successful attempts from the field than their opponents. Furthermore, 20 turnovers represented a very high number of ball losses in the game.

Memphis Grizzlies – Statistics & current form

The Grizzlies fought back significantly in the last game. In the end, the team from the Southwest Division had a 28-point lead. That’s the most ever in a playoff game in Tennessee franchise history!

As expected, a positive factor on the side of Head Coach Taylor Jenkins’ troops was Ja Morant, who came within a hair’s breadth of a triple-double with 23 points, ten assists and nine boards.

Minnesota Timberwolves – Memphis Grizzlies Tip

For the game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Memphis Grizzlies in Game 3, the prediction includes a double-double by Karl-Anthony Towns on the side of the hosts.

The “Big Man” will have to lead the way as his team’s best player in this extremely important game and will therefore be very motivated.

In addition, he has already delivered a double-digit output in terms of points and rebounds in the first two games of the series. With this, “KAT” currently has a series of five games of this kind.

In addition, the “Rookie of the Year” from 2016 has already delivered numerous double-doubles in the regular season – only ten players in the NBA had a higher number at the end of the season!
