Are the Timberwolves a Playoff Threat? Discover Their Strengths

After a strong night of basketball last night, we&#8217;re back for more tonight with a loaded nine-game slate in the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba">NBA</a>.
Kicking off the night, we have a battle of some of the worst teams in the East as the Detroit Pistons will host the Toronto Raptors, but it just so happens that the Pistons are 3.5-point favorites as they&#8217;ve won two of their last three games. Are the Pistons really deserving favorites? We think so.
Looking at the Eastern Conference standings, the Indiana Pacers and Orlando Magic are seperated by just a half a game and they&#8217;ll both be home favorites tonight, making every one of their games that much more important as the postseason nears.
The first half of the ESPN doubleheader will feature an NBA Finals rematch as the Miami Heat will host the Denver Nuggets after these two squads gave us a great battle two weeks ago in Denver where the Nuggets pulled out a narrow victory. Do the Heat have an answer on their home floor?
Moving on to the late-window, the surging New Orleans Pelicans will host the Cleveland Cavaliers who are expected to welcome the much-needed return of <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/players/donovan-mitchell/2826">Donovan Mitchell</a>, adding another layer of intrigue to this matchup.
Additionally, the Golden State Warriors will look to give the Dallas Mavericks a fight without <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/players/stephen-curry/2861">Stephen Curry</a> as the Warriors hope to stay afloat in the Play-In Tournament race.
Closing out the night, the Sacramento Kings will host the Los Angeles Lakers in what should be an electrifying, high-scoring battle, so we have you covered with a <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/article/nba-sgp-950-los-angeles-lakers-sacramento-kings">+950 ultimate same-game parlay</a>.
Let&#8217;s lock in, enjoy the slate, and pump out some winners!
