Portland Trail Blazers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction 11-13-24 NBA Picks

The Minnesota Timberwolves and the Portland Trail Blazers duke it out once again at the Moda Center on Wednesday night. Here’s a Portland Trail Blazers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction. This article will include a Portland Trail Blazers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Pick.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been in fine form as they’ve won six of their first 11 games overall, but they will be hoping to bounce back in this one after getting thrashed by the Trail Blazers in a 122-108 loss last night. Naz Reid led the team in scoring with 28 points on 10 of 17 shooting off the bench, Anthony Edwards added 26 points on eight of 19 shooting while Jaden McDaniels chipped in with 17 points on eight of 10 shooting.

As a team, the Timberwolves shot 50 percent from the field and 13 of 35 from the 3-point line as they struggled to match the intensity of the Trail Blazers from the start and quickly found themselves trailing by double digits after scoring just 17 points in the first quarter. Mike Conley had a quiet game of just six points on two of five shooting while Julius Randle scored just 11 points on three of nine shooting. The Wolves will meet the Kings after this one.

Meanwhile, the Portland Trail Blazers have been in poor form as they’ve lost eight of their first 12 games overall, but they will be feeling much better after last night’s big win over the Timberwolves. Jerami Grant led the team with 21 points and eight assists, Robert Williams added 19 points, nine rebounds, three steals, and three blocks off the bench while Shaedon Sharpe and Deni Avdija scored 17 points each.

As a team, the Trail Blazers shot 51 percent from the field and 18 of 32 from the 3-point line as they dominated right from the start, holding the Timberwolves to just 17 points in the first quarter before the Trail Blazers poured in 33 points in the third quarter to lead by as many as 19 points. The Blazers will play against the Thunder following this game.

The Timberwolves will be so disappointed with their defeat last night as they started flat and were always from behind, while the Trail Blazers will be brimming with confidence as they were able to pull off the big upset despite losing Anfernee Simons to injury in the first quarter. The Trail Blazers set up the win with their defense before they rained in the 3-pointers to pull off the win, but it’s always tough to beat the same team twice in as many nights. With that being said, I give credit to the Trail Blazers for last night’s win, but I think the Timberwolves get their revenge in this one.
