Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on January 18. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Detroit Pistons

After breaking the record losing streak in NBA history with a 129:127 victory over Toronto on December 31, the Pistons again had a losing streak. This time from seven games in a row. However, in the previous game, the team managed to interrupt it. On the road, without Cade Cunningham, Detroit beat another East outsider, Washington, 129:117. The Pistons realized almost 40% of three-pointers and 65% of two-pointers.

The win was Detroit's fourth in 40 games since the league began. The Pistons certainly have some problems, but the team lacks confidence in their abilities.

Minnesota Timberwolves

The Timberwolves played a fairly important game ahead of their trip to Detroit. Minnesota hosted the Los Angeles Clippers, one of their main rivals in the Western Conference. The team managed to stop the opponent's superstar offense, allowing just over 100 points. Minnesota scored more and won 109:105. The key factor was the work under the basket - the Wolves beat the Clippers in rebounding (41:34) and made 31 free throws.

With a 28-11 balance, Minnesota still leads the Western Conference standings.

Expert Betting Tips

Detroit is a very young team and, so far, has only had great stretches of matches. The Pistons lack stability, confidence, and the ability to win. Minnesota, who already played in the playoffs last season, is a ready contender for the tournament. It's unlikely Detroit will be able to count on success here. We'll bet on the Timberwolves to have a productive game, given the Pistons' problems on defense.
