Wednesday, March 30th the Minnesota Timberwolves and Toronto Raptors meet for the second and final time this season. Toronto won the initial meeting between the teams 103-91 on February 16th.
Minnesota has been off since Sunday when they lost 112-134 versus the Celtics while the Raptors needed overtime to beat the Celtics 115-112 on Monday.
Last season, the squads met twice splitting the series with each team winning on the road. The Jazz holds the all-time record having bested the Wolves in 34 of their 51 matches.
Minnesota Timberwolves
The Wolves have lost three of their last four matches but all three opponents were elite teams with Minny making each contest competitive (Mavericks, Suns, Celtics).
They aren’t in a slump and will continue to try to rise up out of the play-in seeds. Although they sit seventh they are only two games back of the Nuggets and Jazz.
To finish the season they have the 22nd strength of schedule remaining with matches against playoff seeds the Raptors, Nuggets, and Bulls as well as the Rockets, Wizards, and Spurs.
Denver has an easier strength of schedule while the Jazz has the seventh most difficult so are the likelier team the Wolves could catch to move up.
Malik Beasley (ankle) was downgraded to out Wednesday while Jaden McDaniels (ankle) is out indefinitely.
Toronto Raptors
Although the Raptors got the victory versus the Celtics it required overtime and featured a predominant Celtics reserve unit. In fairness, it was perhaps the worst officiated game this season but it did highlight some issues.
First, Fred VanVleet is not moving like he was earlier in the season and for sure his knee is not at 100 percent.
Nor is his backcourt partner Gary Trent Jr. at 100 percent. Both could use some time to get healthy but Toronto is keen to secure the sixth or fifth seed so it’s not likely they’ll rest unless they build a pad over the Cavaliers and/or Bulls.
This match will need the best of both guards as the Wolves are one of the hottest teams in the association. Unlike the backcourt, the frontcourt is healthy with OG Anunoby back and Pascal Siakam playing arguably the best ball of his career.
Siakam almost single-handedly won the game versus Boston with a double-double of 40 points and 13 rebounds plus an assist, three steals, and two blocks.
Thad Young had one of his best performances since joining the Raptors with 12 points, eight rebounds, three assists, a steal, and three blocks.
Khem Birch (knee) is questionable for Wednesday. Malachi Flynn (hamstring) is out indefinitely.

Free Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Toronto Raptors NBA Prediction:
Karl-Anthony Towns will pose some issues for the Raptors who don’t have an equivalent-sized big to handle him although Nick Nurse will utilize numerous defensive matchups no doubt.
With the Magic up on Friday, it’s likely Nurse uses his core major minutes to collect the win because they can rest some of them on Friday.
