Cleveland continues to roll while the Timberwolves have really struggled to score, something that hasn’t been a problem for them in recent years.
Cleveland
The Cavaliers have won 5 in a row and with everyone healthy, the sky is the limit for this team.
It took him a couple games, but Kyrie Irving is back to his old self and getting the minutes as he is just tearing teams apart. Irving grabbed 32 points in the win over Washington last time out.

Cleveland has their offense rolling as they have hit 120+ points in 2 of their 5 straight wins.
Along with Irving and James, JR Smith continues to hit from behind the arc. Smith has gone 13 for 24 on 3-pointers over his last 2 games. Just about everyone, including the bench is contributing for Cleveland right now.
The Cavs took both meetings last season by an average of 18.5 points.
Minnesota
The Timberwolves have used their youth to produce energy and a lot of fast break points.
However, none of that is happening right now as the Twolves simply cannot score. Minnesota hit an all time low last time out as they had just 9 points in their loss to the Nuggets.

Things have been so bad for them that they have failed to score 100 points in 9 straight games. They’ve managed to win just 1 of those 9 games during that span.
Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins continue to struggle from the field as they have been heavily relied on this season. The duo needed 28 shots combined just to hit 25 points. If they can’t get things going here, Friday will be a long night for this Twolves team.
Minnesota brings in a mediocre home record of 5-14 SU.
