Big games tonight at the legendary "Garden" in Boston, the Celtics who are in a prolonged formation welcome the very good ones after the all star break Timberwolves against the background of the best possible ranking in the regular season.
Impressive again, the "Celts" in their last game, defeated Utah 125-97, reaching 9 victories in the last 10 games. At the known levels Tatum and Brown with 26 points each, the two guards / forwards lead the Celtics from the beginning with the first having a terrible season. Remarkable stability in the offensive harvest, 124+ points in the last 4 matches, much improved in the end and in defense. They need the victory today to continue the hunt for the first place in the East, from where 2-3 months ago it was doubtful whether they would enter the 4th group! Doubtful stars Tatum and Brown, it is obvious that their possible absence will drastically change the data of the match.
A big victory the day before yesterday for the Timberwolves with 116-95 over Dallas, they broke the mini series of two consecutive defeats while they reached 5 victories in 7 games. They thus remain in 7th place in the West, a game behind the Nuggets which is in 6th place leading to the Playoffs without the play-in games process. Stable again around 20 points, Towns, now harmoniously tied the whole of Minnesota and is currently a difficult opponent for any team in the league. Consistent in offensive productivity, usually her defensive performance is what judges the result in her games.
Strong opposition between two very well-formed teams, the hosts also have an advantage due to their location, but the possible absence of their stars will play a big role. Even if the dark ones are still playing and we are dealing with two good productive teams, I believe that there can be a period with low scoring and thanks to it the under 234,5 at 1,62 by Stoiximan.
