Bucks vs Timberwolves predictions
This NBA game promises to be an intriguing one, especially for Milwaukee Bucks enthusiasts. With the star power of Giannis sidelined, Damian Lillard is poised to shoulder much of the responsibility. Game time decisions can always throw a curveball, but if Dame is on the court, expect him to light up the scoreboard with around 26 points while dishing out valuable assists, keeping his teammates in the mix. Meanwhile, Bobby Portis is another player worth watching. Fans can anticipate a solid performance from him, likely snagging double-digit rebounds and contributing significantly in points. Kyle Kuzma, strong and seasoned, is also expected to chip in with nearly 19 points and 8 rebounds, adding depth to the Bucks' game plan.
On the Timberwolves' side, all eyes are on Anthony Edwards. Coming off a spectacular 44-point showing, he’s likely to continue riding that wave, potentially dropping another 28 points on Milwaukee. Despite a slightly sore hip, we're predicting Anthony will be feeling the euphoria of recent success, fueling his momentum against the Bucks. Rudy Gobert should continue his rebounding prowess, cleaning up the boards with ease and denying opponents with shot blocks. Supporting cast players like Mike Conley, while nursing a finger sprain, can be expected to play key supporting roles, aiding with crucial assists and maintaining a steady pace for the Wolves.
So, who takes home the win? With Anthony Edwards leading the charge and the match on home turf at the Target Center, Minnesota appears to have a slight edge. The Timberwolves have been impressive at home and their recent performances hint at them being the stronger side, particularly with the Bucks' Giannis not on the court. It could be a close battle, but it feels like Minnesota will eke out the victory in the end. What do you think?
