The Memphis Grizzlies (12-8) picked up a win over tonight's opponents, the Minnesota Timberwolves (10-11), earlier this month. They'll be looking to repeat their success in Minneapolis this evening and extend their current winning streak to three.
The Timberwolves, meanwhile, are coming into tonight's game on a three-game losing skid. Shooting guard Anthony Edwards has stood out as an MVP for the team lately, but his excellent work has not been enough to disguise the Timberwolves' subpar defense.

Grizzlies vs. Timberwolves Prediction
The Grizzlies have shown notable improvement in recent games to complement their impressive offensive capabilities. Despite some hit-and-miss results in recent weeks, the team now appear to have found their groove and likely won't provide the Timberwolves with many opportunities to score thanks to their sturdier defense of late.
The Timberwolves, meanwhile, are on a rough stretch this season and have struggled to maintain good defense. Worse still, they've often floundered when it comes to making their threes. Between Memphis' uptick in quality of late and the Timberwolves' struggles, a Grizzlies win seems very likely tonight.
Prediction: Grizzlies -3 (-108)
