1.87Tip and bets
"Minnesota" did not meet the expectations of the fans in the current championship. The Timberwolves don't shine with results from season to season. And the main star of the team, Edwards, finds it difficult to pull the entire team on his own. Milwaukee is constantly dealing with injuries to the leaders. Without Adetokunbo, their game doesn't work at all. Finch's players will have to achieve a difficult victory with the noisy support of their fans.
Our forecast is a Minnesota victory with a handicap of (-4.5) points, taking into account overtime in 1.72
Betting on an individual total
Minnesota should release an almost optimal squad on the court. With all the leaders on the floor, the Minneapolis team is showing acceptable performance this season. The average score is 111.2. And in games at home it is slightly higher— 112.6. And this time the Timberwolves will be able to decently load the opponent's basket.
Our forecast is that Minnesota's individual total is more than 111.5 points, including overtime in 2.03
Bet on the first half
Minnesota has won the first half in its last six out of eight games against Milwaukee. The basketball players from the North Star State will start the game in a not very good mood after an unsuccessful trip to Cleveland. There is no doubt that they will try to get Victoria. Finch's team's players will show from the first minutes of the meeting who is in charge on the floor and seize the initiative.
Our forecast is that Minnesota will win in the first quarter in 1.59
