Jordan McLaughlin (calf) and Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) are out. (foot) is out. Toronto: Dalano Banton (hip) is questionable.

Generally, I tend to think of the Raptors as an Under team with their combination of a shaky offense and usually stout defense. Their half-court offense is streaky at the best of times, and the team ranks dead last in the NBA in effective field goal percentage and 29th in 3-point shooting percentage, which is specifically what you need to take advantage of against a team like the T-Wolves. [Timberwolves](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/teams/main/minnesota-timberwolves) are arguably the worst team in the NBA when it comes to defending the 3-ball. Since the start of January, the Raptors are surrendering 115.8 points per contest and rank 26th in opponent 3-point shooting percentage in nine games played. Whether it is the way they collapse on the ball when [Rudy Gobert](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/players/544/rudy-gobert) is playing or the slack coverage on the line, Minny gives up a ton of open looks from deep. [Raptors](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/teams/main/toronto-raptors)' uneven play as a team this season. If they are close to full health, I would lean to the Over, but I’m staying away for now. There have been at least four instances in the last nine games where the Raptors were favored when they shouldn’t have been. The Raptors are currently laying 5.5 points in this matchup but have really struggled to cover as favorites recently. The Wolves have been hit with a rash of injuries and could be shorthanded for this matchup. That’s a big jump up from his 15.2 field goal attempts per game this season, and it wouldn’t be a shock to see him keep that up tonight against Minnesota. Simply put, the Toronto Raptors have not lived up to expectations.

[Naz Reid](https://www.lineups.com/nfl/player-stats/naz-reid) [Jaden McDaniels](https://www.lineups.com/nfl/player-stats/jaden-mcdaniels) [Kyle Anderson](https://www.lineups.com/nfl/player-stats/kyle-anderson) [Anthony Edwards](https://www.lineups.com/nfl/player-stats/anthony-edwards) [D’Angelo Russell](https://www.lineups.com/nfl/player-stats/d'angelo-russell) [Pascal Siakam](https://www.lineups.com/nfl/player-stats/pascal-siakam) [Fred VanVleet](https://www.lineups.com/nfl/player-stats/fred-vanvleet) most of the game who averages 19 points, 2 assists, and 2 rebounds per game for the season. It could be difficult because it’s a road game, but the Raptors are the better play and should win in this spot over Minnesota. They are third in the NBA in field goal percentage at 49.% and are 12th in scoring. On the other side, the Minnesota Timberwolves have a lot of potential but also haven’t been able to put it all together just yet. The Raptors are coming off a loss on the road to the Bucks, while the Timberwolves are coming off a home loss to the Jazz.
