LiontipsOrlando vs Minnesota. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Magic are on a penultimate spot of the Eastern Conference, so it doesn't matter for them, how their next five games will end. Team is approaching a serious rebuilding, because their board decided to let the leaders go, so they will look for reinforcemecnt in the summer.
Orlando lost two games in a row, they failed to put up a fight against Boston (95:132) and in the most recent game went down to Charlotte (112:122). Team don't have the best line-up available, because a number of their players are on injuried list.
Steve Clifford's team is gonna be a huge underdog in this game, so that's chance for Minnesota to remind of themselves.
Timberwolves didn't live up to expectations, which affected their position in the standings. For a long time they were the bottom team of the Eastern Conference, but they recently get around Houston.
Minnesota lost three games in a row, so they are again in a terrible form. Team lost to New Orleans in overtime (136:140), then went down to Memphis (135:139) and was crushed by Miami (112:121). Of course, no one is happy with that situation, but it's too late to turn things around, because the regular season is coming to an end.
Wolves don't have any problems with the squad, so they are favourites in this game, though Magic is a tricky opponent.

Tip and bets
This game is just a formality for both teams, because they failed this season. Of course anyone would be happy to take the win. In our opinion, Orlando will have a tough game because of injury crisis, so we think that Minnesota will break a string of three defeats.
Our prediction - Minnesota Timberwolves to win (Including OT).
It's not a secret that Magic will have a depleted squad in this game, so we shouldn't wait a high-scoring performance from the hosts. Timberwolves can play more aggressive, but we don't think that teams will beat the total.
Our second prediction - total under 233.5 points
