Minnesota Timberwolves Form

Minnesota head to Indiana having snapped a two-game losing skid with a victory on Monday night.

The Timberwolves enjoyed a great run of form in February as they won seven of their final eight games that month.

That run started with four straight road wins, as they beat Milwaukee 129-105, the LA Clippers 121-100 and Portland twice, 121-109 and 128-91.

Minnesota then bounced back from a 112-107 defeat to Milwaukee with home wins against Brooklyn, 101-86, San Antonio, 114-105, and Memphis, 110-101.

The Timberwolves failed to keep that going as they lost 124-120 in overtime to Sacramento and 89-88 to the Clippers, but they did avoid a third straight loss as they beat Portland 119-114.

Indiana Pacers Form

Indiana come into this matchup having also bounced back from back-to-back defeats with a win earlier this week.

The Pacers reeled off three consecutive wins around the All-Star break, beating Toronto 127-125 on the road before returning home to beat Detroit 129-115 and Dallas 133-111.

They failed to make it four-in-a-row as they lost 130-122 to Toronto, but they did rebound quickly to beat New Orleans 123-114.

Indiana failed to back up that win though, losing back-to-back road games, 129-102 in New Orleans and 117-105 at San Antonio.

The Pacers did get back to winning ways before returning home, beating Dallas 137-120 on Tuesday night.

Verdict

Minnesota are covering consistently on the road and as an underdog, so give us the Timberwolves and a free bucket.
