Preview

Memphis Grizzlies will be meeting Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday in Memphis, This will be the fifth game in the first round in this matchup as the Timberwolves tied the series 2-2 last game at home after winning by 1 point and now they will try to take the lead from the Grizzlies before heading to home again for game 6.

Minnesota Timberwolves had a great win in a thrilling game at home in game 4, the Timberwolves won the game 119-118 which makes the series 2-2 so far and makes it more likely that we get to game 7 in this series. Karl-Anthony Towns had another good game with 33 points on 47% shooting from the field and 60% from the 3 pointers, he also had a double double with 14 rebounds in that game, D'Angelo Russell on the other hand didn't have a good one shooting only 25% from the field and scoring only 10 points.

Memphis Grizzlies were that close to make it a 3-1 series in that last game but Minnesota came clutch at the end to tie the series. Ja Mornat still not having his best shooting days as he had 11 points on 31% shooting from the field but he still got a double double with 15 Assist! Desmond Bane on the other hand have been very good scoring 34 points in the last game on 61% shooting from the field and 67% shooting from the 3 Pointers. Memphis are big favourites to win this game and make it 3-2 series but they will have to grind it as Minnesota won't make it any easier by any means to them.

Prediction

This have been an entertaining series so far for sure and now we are tied 2-2 and Memphis are playing at home in this one, I like Memphis Grizzlies to win and cover in this game and probably the Timberwolves take the next one as this series have been going as zigzag so far Minnesota wins then Memphis ties it which happened in the last 4 games. I like the under too but I trust Memphis more at home so give me the home team to win and cover.
