Action Network contributor Chris Baker previews Saturday's matchup between the Cavaliers and Timberwolves, including his betting pick.
The Timberwolves have been rolling and they should be able to attack Garland and Mitchell in pick and rolls all night on offense. Defensively, the Wolves need to do a better job of finishing possessions as they rank dead-last in defensive rebound rate in the new year. The content on this page is for informational purposes only. We may be compensated for the links provided on this page. This isn’t a particularly challenging matchup as the Timberwolves rank 19th in Adjusted Offensive Rating on the year. This sets them up well to face this Minnesota offense that currently ranks fourth in rim rate on the year. Aside from Isaac Okoro, the Cavaliers lack the type of perimeter defenders necessary to defend explosive guards like Edwards and Russell. Road trips of this length are never easy to navigate in the NBA, but the Cavs have performed admirably as winners of two of their four games. They also matchup well as the Cavs rank eighth Field Goal Percentage allowed at the rim. Focusing on the court, the Cavs should be able to generate some clean looks from beyond the arc against a Timberwolves defense that ranks 24th in opponent 3-point rate. Expect the Cavs to have a great day from the perimeter tonight. At the time of writing, Mitchell is questionable to play with an illness.

The Cleveland Cavaliers put their winning ways to the test on this Saturday as they battle it out with the Minnesota Timberwolves of the Western Conference.
Alas, this cannot happen against a Cavs team that is respectable from deep and has connected on 36% of their three-point attempts. Scoring 121 points on 52% shooting against Phoenix, the Wolves are starting to feel it with their shot. In fact, the next closest team isn’t even within a point of that margin as the Cavs have been putting the clamps down on their prey. Of course, everyone was aware of what the former Louisville product was capable of during his days in Utah, but it seems that “Spida” has taken his game to even greater heights. As it stands, the Cavs boast one of the top records out east at 27-16 and are beginning to prove to the NBA community that they are a legitimate contender. Most recently, the Wolves have reeled off five wins in their previous six games and seem to be turning a corner at the most perfect of times.
We go over some of the best betting options for Saturday's matchup between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Minnesota Timberwolves.
