In their most recent game, they slumped to the reigning champions, Oklahoma City Thunder in an NBA Cup group stage contest. On the flip side, we have the Boston Celtics, who are seeded in the seventh spot of the Eastern Conference with a similar record as that of the Wolves. In their most-recent game, they handed a narrow loss to the conference toppers, Detroit Pistons.

| Anthony Edwards O 28.5 points | -114 | – |
Anthony Edwards has been leading the Timberwolves in offense with an average of 28.0 points through 14 games he has played for the side thus far. He is shooting 47.5% from the field and 39.2% from the three-point range. In two of the last three games, Ant Man has scored over 40 points, though the Wolves failed to move past the victory line. In fact, he scored 31 points against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the team which has the best defense.
The Boston Celtics have the 16th best defensive rating in the league at 114.0. Considering it, as well as Edwards’ familiarity with homecourt and his form, we can expect him to drop 29 points or more on Saturday.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are coming off a three-game losing skid. In their most recent game, they slumped to the reigning champions in an absolute winnable contest, and dropped their tally to 10-8. Though the Wolves have been playing good basketball recently, it seemed that they started losing control of the game in the final quarter. In the upcoming game, a well-rested Timberwolves squad faces the Celtics who are without Jayson Tatumm and completely reliant on Jaylen Brown. On Saturday, they need to take note of their past mistakes and not repeat them, including missing 15 throws. They are rested, have home-court advantage and their players are in great form, making it a highly likely scenario for their first win in four games.
Talking statistically, the Wolves are seeded 11th in the league in terms of offensive rating, while their defensive rating of 112.2, gives them the tenth spot in the standings.
On the other hand, we have the Boston Celtics, who are unfortunately not the same team without their superstar Jayson Tatum. The 18-time champions are 18 games into the season, but they are still finding a way without Tatum. Currently, they are heavily reliant on Brown, who when in his best form, can help Celtics generate enough offense to make things difficult. However, Brown is listed as questionable for the upcoming game, and though he could play, his back spasm might hinder his gameplay.
Speaking statistically, the Celtics have the fifth best offense at 118.8, while their defensive rating puts them in the lower half of the league.
Considering the availability of players, momentum, home-court advantage, we can expect the Wolves to record a dominating win over the Celtics.
