The Milwaukee Bucks will lock horns with the Minnesota Timberwolves in an NBA regular-season game at the Target Center on Saturday. Both teams have only faced off once previously this season and the Timberwolves were able to grab a 113-108 win on that occasion.
The Bucks come into this game after a stunning win over the Sacramento Kings. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 36 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead the way for the defending champions. Khris Middleton also showed up on the night as he racked up 32 points to make things easier for the Bucks on the way to a 135-126 win.
The Timberwolves secured yet another dominant win over the LA Lakers in their game on Wednesday. Karl-Anthony Towns starred for the team as he scored 30 points, while Anthony Edwards scored 27 points in the game.
The T-Wolves were oozing confidence as they kept talking trash to the stars on the Lakers. Despite their best efforts, the purple and gold were unable to make their way into the game and ended up losing 124-104 at the hands of the Timberwolves.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Minnesota Timberwolves Betting Odds & Spreads - March 19, 2022
The Bucks are being favored in this game due to the brilliant form their Big 3 is in. Giannis has undoubtedly been brilliant, but with Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton also firing, it has been tough to stop this Bucks team off late.
Although the Timberwolves are an impressive young team, the oddsmakers have given the higher odds to the Bucks as they have a stacked roster. With the likes of Pat Connaughton and Brook Lopez coming back, they are further strengthened and could make things very difficult for the Timberwolves at home.
