Command Analysis
Current form
The Timberwolves finally did what seemed impossible for a long time: at TD Garden, they broke an 18-match losing streak in Boston, beating the Celtics 102:92. The beginning was not for the faint of heart - the first quarter ended at 14:23, but in the second the wolves gave a 33:21 spurt and took the lead. The third was left to the hosts, but in the fourth, Minnesota staged a decisive 16:0 stretch and brought it to a 26:15 victory. Bones Niland was the team's best with 23 points, Jayden McDaniels added 19, and Ayo Dosunmu provided 17 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. At the same time, the team outplayed the opponent in rebounding and defense, despite the absence of Anthony Edwards. The Timberwolves currently occupy fifth place in the Western Conference with 44 wins and 28 losses.
Current form
But the Rockets slightly upset their fans on March 23 at the United Center in Chicago, losing to the Bulls 124:132. The start was a failure: only 21 points in the first quarter against 41 for the hosts — immediately down by 20 points. In the second, the Rockets pulled up 27:24, and in the third they almost made a comeback, scoring 39 points against 30. In the fourth, both teams scored 37 points, but the early deficit proved fatal. The guests have bright figures — Alperen Sangyun with 40 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, Jaylen Green almost made a triple-double with 33 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists. Fred Vanvleet added 23 points. The team scored 53 percent of the shots from the game, but the three—pointers failed again - only 27 percent.

Tip and bets
The teams have already played each other this season, and then the Rockets pulled out a 110-105 victory in January. But if you look at the overall stats and playing style, the Wolves traditionally feel quite confident against the Rockets. Recent matches provide an interesting contrast: Minnesota confidently beat Boston on the road, even without Anthony Edwards. Excellent defense, character in the fourth quarter, teamwork — it's like a textbook. Houston lost to Chicago. Minnesota still has losses — Edwards won't play because of his knee, but the team play and home court give the Wolves an advantage. Houston has serious losses: Fred Vanvleet is out for the whole season, Stephen Adams is also in the infirmary. Even weakened, the Wolves look more organized, reliable in defense, and are unlikely to give up Victoria Rockets at home.
Our prediction is that Minnesota will win in 2.00
