Advice and prediction
The Timberwolves have been playing solid basketball to end the season, and are just a couple weeks removed from back-to-back wins over the Jazz, but I’m still hesitant to lay five points on a 22-win team. Instead, I’m looking to the total.
The last time these teams met we saw a 281-point overtime thriller, and the Celtics haven’t shown much of an inclination toward playing defense lately, hitting the over in eight of their last 10 games. Take the over 232.5.
Prediction: Timberwolves 123, Celtics 119
