Minnesota recorded the most recent victory at the end of November, beating Indiana at home. Wolves were not playing better than the Pacers. They were just more fortunate and beat the opponent by only two points (100:98).
Atlanta's results in recent matches are pretty similar to Minnesota's. Nate McMillan's men also had a long winning streak. But now Hawks are in a slump. Their performance worsened lately. That's why they started to lose matches.

Tip and bets
Atlanta recorded the most of their victories at home. McMillan's men are playing weaker on the road and lost 8 out of 12 most recent matches. We are not expecting an improvement from the Hawks. Minnesota Timberwolves are not weaker than the Hawks, so Wolves should be able to record a victory at home.
Our prediction - Minnesota to win (Including OT)
Minnesota averages 107 points per game at home. Atlanta averages 108,6 points per game on away matches. As we see, both teams are pretty successful on the offense. So we think that they should be able to beat the total of 215,5 points.
Our second prediction - total over 215,5 points
