How things might unfold

Timberwolves have been unimpressive on the road. They have lacked consistency lately, and there is no chance I am betting on them.

Boston Celtics have been up an down this season, but they are a quality team. They have the depth and the talent to pull off an easy victory tonight.

However, things become a little bit complicated as Kyrie Irving, and Derrick Rose both are questionable for tonight. Both the players affect the functioning of the team.

Considering the above fact, even if Kyrie does not play today, Celtics have the firepower to win tonight. They will be at home and will attack the Wolves from the moment go.

Celtics have a definite edge here.
