The core of the Timberwolves' strategy at home must be to use their defensive advantage to lower the number of rounds and limit the Kings' rapid advance. If the Timberwolves can successfully execute this strategy and bring the game into a quagmire of offense and defense at halftime, the total score is likely to be suppressed. However, the Kings' offensive talent has the ability to break the deadlock at any moment and drive the scoring wave. It is predicted that this game will be a rhythm game, and the Timberwolves' determination and home court advantage are the main logic in favor of small points, but there is a risk of being carried away by the Kings' offensive speed. The tendency conclusion is that under the premise of a neat Timberwolves lineup and focus on defense, a total score of less than 229.5 points is a logically supported choice, but the process may not be easy.

It is recommended to use this game as a window to observe the current state of both teams rather than heavy bet selections.
