The Blazers are coming off a 130-117 home win over the Phoenix Suns in their last game where Damian Lillard was the high scorer for Portland going for 31 points.

Andrew Wiggins had a big game in the loss going for 32 points on 13/20 shooting and Buddy Hield was the high scorer for Sacramento going for 22 points. Minnesota had won two in a row before the loss to the Kings, but they are still only 2-7 in their last nine games.

Portland Trailblazers at Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

The Timberwolves injuries are a concern, but they’ve played well enough at home winning five of their last seven matches. They did lose on this very same court 95-89 back on January 1st, but I always treat those at throwaway games.
