Dallas Mavericks Form
Dallas head to Minnesota having rebounded from their first defeat of the season with a win last night that took them to 2-1.
The Mavericks, who lost in the NBA Finals last season, came into the new campaign as one of the leading contenders to win the championship this time around.
They got off to the perfect start as they opened up with a 120-109 victory over San Antonio at home.
Dallas failed to back that up in their first road game though, as they travelled to Phoenix for a 114-102 defeat to the Suns on Saturday night.
The Mavericks bounced back immediately though, as they returned home briefly for a 110-102 win against Utah last night.
Minnesota Timberwolves Form
Minnesota go into this game having rebounded from an opening-night defeat with back-to-back wins.
The Timberwolves remain a leading contender to win the NBA title despite trading away Karl-Anthony Towns to New York, but they made a slow start.
They visited Los Angeles on opening night and suffered a 110-103 defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Minnesota bounced back quickly though, as they moved on to Sacramento to beat the Kings 117-115.
The Timberwolves then backed that up on Saturday night, as they marked their home opener with a 112-101 win over Toronto.
Verdict
Minnesota have a great recent track record when they have a rest advantage over an opponent.
Throw in home advantage and the motivation to avenge last season's playoff defeat, and the Timberwolves become the pick for this game.
