Neither the Timberwolves nor the Pacers have met expectations this season. Indy, while never a legitimate threat to dethrone the Cleveland Cavaliers as division champions, were supposed to be a borderline second-tier team with the additions of Al Jefferson and Jeff Teague — not to mention a fully healthy and reacclimated Paul George.
The ‘Wolves were also supposed to take a step forward and push for a return to the postseason.

While neither team has met expectations, both remain relevant and (mostly) competitive.
This one has larger implications for the seventh-seeded Pacers than it does for the 12th-seeded T-Wolves, but this also has potential to be a hard-fought contest that comes down to the wire.

Minnesota Timberwolves
The trajectory of Minnesota’s season changed when Zach LaVine tore his ACL. The one-time dunker has become a well-rounded player known for his all-around game as a legitimate third scoring option on this ‘Wolves roster.
Okay…maybe he’s still known as a dunker to most fans…but that’s doing his game and his reputation a disservice.

The problem, of course, is that the Timberwolves have had to try to find ways to replace him since his injury.
Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns have picked up their games and have become one of the best one-two punches in the league, but guys like Ricky Rubio and other complementary pieces aren’t going to scare a defense the way LaVine does.
Indiana Pacers
Indy sits in seventh place out East, but their spot in the playoffs is far from a lock.
Currently, the Pacers are in a three-way tie as far as record is concerned with the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks. That’s the good news — this group can land in a higher seed if the stars align.
The bad news, however, is that the Pacers are also just two games ahead of the No. 8 Miami Heat and No. 9 Detroit Pistons.

If Indiana is going to come away with a win against Minnesota, it’s going to need to channel the defensive midset needed to contain Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins.
If that dynamic duo is allowed to take over this game, it’s going to be unlikely that the Pacers come away with a win.

Free Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Indiana Pacers NBA Prediction:
We’re not buying the pacers as five-point favorites. They could ultimately come away with a win and nobody should be shocked, but to pick them at -5 ATS is doubting what the Timberwolves can do with both Towns and Wiggins are locked in.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Minnesota +5
We’re going to take things one step further and predict that Minnesota gets the win straight up here, but if you’re not comfortable making that call, picking them ATS should be your next option.
