Minnesota Timberwolves at Orlando Magic Preview & Picks
Minnesota are tipped to cover as they leave Orlando with the 'W'.
The Magic are again missing a bunch of key players, so despite the Timberwolves' recent hit-or-miss form on the road, we like them to get the job done.
- Minnesota Timberwolves are 3-1-0 ATS in their last 4 visits to Orlando
- Orlando Magic are 2-5-0 ATS in their previous 7 games
- The team playing on the road has won 8 of the last 9 meetings
- The Under has cashed in 9 of Orlando's last 11 games
Head To Head
- Orlando Magic lead the all-time series 44-25
- Orlando Magic won 108-106 when the two teams last met in February 2024
Minnesota Timberwolves Form
Minnesota head to Orlando having bounced back from a tough start to the year with back-to-back wins.
The Timberwolves snapped a three-game losing skid with a 105-99 win in Dallas on Christmas Day.
They then backed that up with a 113-112 victory in Houston, before returning home to record a 112-100 win over San Antonio.
Minnesota ended the year on a losing note though, falling 113-105 at Oklahoma City, and they then began 2025 with a 118-115 loss to Boston and a 119-105 defeat in Detroit.
The Timberwolves have steadied the ship though, following up Monday’s 108-106 win over the LA Clippers with a 104-97 success in New Orleans on Tuesday night.
Orlando Magic Form
Orlando go into this matchup looking to build on Monday’s win and develop some consistency following a mixed post-Christmas run.
The Magic’s patchy form started with back-to-back home defeats as they lost 89-88 to Miami and 108-85 to New York.
They avoided a third straight loss as they edged Brooklyn at home, 102-101, but they failed to follow that up as they then lost 105-96 in Detroit.
Orlando responded by beating the Raptors 106-97 in Toronto, only to then lose 105-92 when they returned home to face Utah.
The Magic did make a winning start to this week though, as they travelled to New York to take down the Knicks, 103-94.
Verdict
Minnesota's road form is not exactly stellar, but Orlando are dealing with a bunch of injuries right now.
The road team tends to come out on top when these two teams meet too, so we are leaning towards the Timberwolves on the road.
