The Indiana Pacers look for their third straight victory on Wednesday when visiting the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Pacers improved to 25-15 following a 101-95 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. TJ Warren led the Pacers with 21 points and came up big with a blocked shot on a 3-pointer that would have given the 76ers the lead, helping the Pacers hold on for the victory.

TJ Warren leads the Pacers in scoring with an average of 18.0 points per game. The second leading scorer and leading rebounder is Domantas Sabonis with averages of 17.8 points and 13.1 rebounds per game. Malcolm Brogdon is the Pacers leader in assists with an average of 7.5 per game. Six players for the Pacers are averaging double-figures in scoring. 

Minnesota looks to snap its two-game losing streak when hosting the Pacers on Wednesday. The Timberwolves fell to 15-24 following a 117-104 loss on Monday to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Naz Reid led Minnesota with 20 points off the bench while Robert Covington added 18 points. Minnesota is still playing without its high scorer and high rebounder Karl-Anthony Towns.

With Towns out injured, Andrew Wiggins leads Minnesota in scoring with an average of 23.2 points per game, while Jeff Teague is second in scoring and the leader in assists with an average of 13.3 points and 6.2 assists per game. Gorgui Dieng leads the T-Wolves in rebounds with an average of 5.9 per game. Five players for Minnesota are averaging double-figures in scoring.

Minnesota is going through a bad stretch since losing high scorer and high rebounder Karl-Anthony Towns.  The Timberwolves have lost 15 of their last 20 straight up and have failed to cover 10 of their last 13 on their home court. Indiana has covered the number and 6 of its last 9 versus an opponent from the Western Conference and has won 8 of its last 12 straight up versus an opponent from the Northwest division. Final Score Prediction, Indiana Pacers win and cover ATS 111-103.
