1.88Tip and bets
Cleveland and Minnesota enter the floor on January 10 with a fresh history of confrontation, and the victory of the Timberwolves gives the guests a noticeable psychological advantage. The Cavaliers' instability is particularly striking after a long break, with the third quarter becoming a risk zone again. The personnel situation is also not encouraging. Max Strus remains out of the game, Dean Wade is experiencing knee problems, and this directly affects the depth of rotation and the quality of defense on the perimeter. Edwards is questionable for Minnesota due to a foot injury. Taking into account the form, the balance of the squad and the recent full-time match, the most logical choice seems to be in favor of the guests.
Our prediction is that Minnesota will win in 2.33
