Minnesota’s Red-Hot Timberwolves Look to Extend Win Streak Against Injury-Plagued Pacers
The Minnesota Timberwolves are on fire right now, riding an eight-game winning streak as they welcome the Indiana Pacers to Target Center on Monday night.
Anthony Edwards and company have been practically unstoppable throughout March, putting themselves in prime position for the playoffs.
“Ant-Man” has been particularly impressive lately. He’s scored 25+ points in four straight games, including a monster 41-point performance against Utah on Sundayโand he only needed 31 minutes to do it.
Despite playing on the second night of a back-to-back, the Wolves should be relatively fresh. No starter except Edwards played more than 30 minutes in Sunday’s comfortable win over the Jazz.
The Pacers, meanwhile, are limping into Minneapolis with a lengthy injury report.
Pascal Siakam is already ruled out for personal reasons. Tyrese Haliburton (back), Myles Turner (hip), Aaron Nesmith (ankle), and Johnny Furphy (illness) are all questionable for Monday’s matchup.
Losing Haliburton would be especially tough for Indiana. The star guard hit an incredible four-point play to beat Milwaukee in their previous meeting.
History isn’t on Indiana’s side either. The Timberwolves have dominated this matchup recently, winning six straight against the Pacers dating back to the 2021-22 season.
Oddsmakers have taken notice. The Wolves are 7.5-point favorites for Monday’s game, according to the latest BetOnline odds.
