The odds will be stacked against the Toronto Raptors for Saturday’s contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Raptors will be playing on the second night of a back-to-back, on the road, the night after an emotional victory.
The Raptors will also be playing a very respectable opponent. The Timberwolves, currently 29-and-19 are currently ranked 6th in the NBA and have been playing even better in the past month.
The Timberwolves are led by MVP dark horse, Jimmy Butler. Butler, acquired this past off-season from a dysfunctional Chicago Bulls team, has brought veteran leadership, as well as, phenomenal play.
