Cleveland Cavaliers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction: Injury Report, Starting 5s, Betting Odds & Spread: January 14 | 2002-23 NBA Season

The Cleveland Cavaliers (27-16) are fourth in the Eastern Conference and are coming off a win against the Portland Trail Blazers (119-113) in their previous outing.

Damian Lillard had his night of the season with an amazing 50-point performance, but it still wasn't enough as multiple players from the Cavs teams had a 20+ point game.

Jarrett Allen scored 24 points, Darius Garland contributed 20 points and Donovan Mitchell came out with 26 points to nullify Lillard's mega attempt. With this win, the Cavs are now 5-5 in their last ten games and in the right direction to qualify for the playoffs.

The Cavs will now take on the Minnesota Timberwolves (21-22), who are ninth in the West and managed a win against the Phoenix Suns (121-116) in their last outing.

Anthony Edwards came out as the highest scorer for the Timberwolves with 31 points, along with six rebounds and three assists. D'Angelo Russell chipped in with 17 points as well. Karl-Anthony Towns is still out due to a calf injury and it is important that Minnesota keep winning.

Cleveland vs Minnesota: Betting Prediction

Minnesota has a 6-4 record against Cleveland in their last ten meetings. They have already played against each other once this season and that was won by the Timberwolves.

However, the current scenario suggests a slight upper hand for the Cavs for tonight's game despite the Timberwolves playing at home. Expect a close and entertaining contest nevertheless.

Final Prediction: Cleveland -3 (-110) & Total Over 225 (-110)
