The Timberwolves have been doing great lately having won three games in a row. However, the party might be about to end as they prepare to take on a tough opponent like the Memphis Grizzlies. The Timberwolves might have home-court advantage but it won’t amount to much against the Grizzlies’ potent offense. We predict that the Grizzlies will win this game.
