Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on January 23. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

MIN Timberwolves

The Timberwolves met in the previous match with Oklahoma, having won four consecutive victories. The team failed to extend the successful series. Minnesota could stop the offense of one of their main competitors, but they did not score a hundred points - 97:102. The Wolves were stronger than their opponent in three-pointers, rebounds, and assists but had 21 turnovers.

At the same time, Minnesota retained its lead in the Western Conference, but Oklahoma is now only one win behind the Wolves.

CHA Hornets

The Hornets are ahead of Detroit and Washington in the Eastern Conference, but with a 9-31 balance, are already 8.0 wins behind the top 10. So, by the end of the first half of the regular season, it's clear that the team will once again not even contend for the playoffs.

In the previous game, Charlotte played at home against Philadelphia and lost in a very low-scoring game - 89:97. The Hornets have only one win in the last eight meetings.

Expert Betting Tips

Minnesota not only leads the West but also maintains the status of the best defense of the season. Charlotte has serious game problems, including on offense, and it is unlikely that Steve Clifford's team will be able to find the keys to this top defense. We bet on a convincing win for the Wolves in a low-scoring game despite the total over in the first game of the season series.
