The Celtics played Indiana in a back-to-back format. Joe Mazzulla's team celebrated a convincing 118-101 victory in the first game, but they could not repeat their success in the second one. Boston led by 9 points after the first half but lost the third quarter by 11 points and gave up in the end - 131-133. Once again, the Celtics showed they could be more balanced in working on the three-point arc - 17 realized long-range attempts, with as many as 19 missed. Boston suffered their eighth loss in 36 games this season but still leads the Eastern Conference by 3.5 wins.
Minnesota
The Timberwolves will play Boston in a back-to-back format after an away game against Orlando. However, it shouldn't affect the team's tonus much, as the injured Magic beat them 113-92. Minnesota was stronger in assists, rebounds, and accuracy of attempts. Karl-Anthony Towns was the most productive for the Wolves, scoring 28 points. Minnesota failed three of their last five games but still leads the Western Conference with a 26-10 record, 1.5 wins ahead of the second place.
Expert Betting Tips
The first meeting between the rivals this season ended with a victory for Minnesota, and Boston will do everything to get revenge. The Timberwolves are on a back-to-back, have lost more often than they have won, and have a negative H2H record against the Celtics. We're going with Boston, and not the most efficient matchup, as the Wolves still can resist on defense.
