The Minnesota Timberwolves host Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks in a Wednesday matinee. The Timberwolves, while still one of the worst teams in the league, have been playing solid basketball at the Target Center and have won three of their last four home games.
Milwaukee has been playing below its usual level as of late, losing three of its last five games. The Bucks picked up their much-needed, bounce-back win in the form of a 37-point thrashing of the Orlando Magic.
In that blowout, Milwaukee had six players reach double figures in scoring, as the club shot a remarkable 47.5% from the 3-point line on a whopping 40 attempts from beyond the arc.
Slowing down the Bucks' many shooters should be priority No. 1 for the Timberwolves, as Antetokounmpo is likely to get his point totals no matter what. This will be a tall task for Minnesota, as it allowed Brooklyn to shoot 41.7% from 3-point range in its 30-point loss on Tuesday.
With the Bucks coming in off three days of rest and the Timberwolves on the second game of a back-to-back set, everything is set up for Milwaukee to dominate the action.
It appears sharp bettors agree with this assessment, as our latest PRO Report shows sharps backing the Bucks.
