Betting Odds: Timberwolves -5 (-110) - Over/Under (218)
Pick: Timberwolves -5 (-110)
Two of the top teams in the league will face off here on Tuesday night in the Sunshine state. This should be a solid measure stick game for both of these teams and both of them will be looking to pass the test and pick up a solid victory here in this game on Tuesday night in Orlando. Both Minnesota and Orlando are near the top of their conference and both of them will look for a statement victory here in this game as they take on each other for the first time this season. This should be one of the best games of a short slide on Tuesday night as these two quality franchises face off here in this one.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are having a solid season throughout the early part of the year as they come into this game with 25 victories through their first 35 games on the season. They have been one of the best teams in the league throughout the early part of the regular season, and they will look to keep the momentum rolling with another quality performance on the road in Orlando here on Tuesday night. As they look for their 26th win of the year, and they look to stay near the top of the Western Conference standings, as we slowly approach the halfway point of the season.
Former number one overall draft pick Anthony Edwards has been the catalyst behind their success throughout the early part of the year, and he will look to post another quality performance in this game on Tuesday night on the road against the Magic. However, they have struggled as of late as they have lost three out of their last four against some pretty quality competition and they will look to get back into the win called them with a solid performance here in this game on Tuesday night on the road. This feels like a get right game for the Minnesota Timberwolves as they will need to pick up a crucial victory here in this one to keep the momentum rolling.

The Orlando Magic have put together a quality start to the regular season and they will look to keep the momentum rolling throughout this game at home on Tuesday night against Minnesota. They come into this game with 21 victories through their first 36 games of the regular season and they will look to pick up their 22nd victory of the year with a quality performance in front of their home fans against Minnesota here on Tuesday night. They have found a solid mix of young players and seasoned veterans to put them in a position to make a playoff run this season, but they will have to maintain that success throughout the second half of the year if they want to make the postseason in a loaded Eastern Conference this year.
Orlando will need to overcome their long list of injuries if they want to remain competitive in this game against Minnesota as they look to extend their current winning streak with a third consecutive victory here on Tuesday at home. They have picked up a pair of close victories at home over the Atlanta Hawks and the Denver Nuggets and their previous two games and they will look for a third consecutive victory over another top team within the Western Conference here in this one.
Betting trends to consider in this matchup:
- Minnesota is 11-8 on the road
- Minnesota is 21-5 as a favorite
- Minnesota is 9-3 as a road favorite
I expect this to be a competitive back-and-forth game between two quality teams here on Tuesday night in Orlando. In the end I look for Anthony Edwards, and the Minnesota Timberwolves to pull out the victory over the Orlando Magic as I think Orlando is just too young to compete with a team like Minnesota at the moment. As I look for Minnesota to pull away late in this game and cover the spread, as well as pick up a much-needed victory on the road in a hostile environment early on in the regular season.
