Friday’s matchup between the Timberwolves and the Rockets pits two of the worst teams in the league against each other.
Houston has lost nine of its last 10 games, while the Timberwolves are 3-7 over their last 10 games and on a three-game losing streak. Both teams are in the bottom five of the NBA in offensive rating, scoring under 107 points per 100 possessions, per NBA Advanced Stats.
This game will likely be far from aesthetically pleasing, with plenty of young players from both squads trying to earn playing time in the second halves of their respective lost seasons.
Our PRO Report sees serious value in siding with the Timberwolves in this matchup of NBA cellar dwellers.
