Prediction:

The 48-23 Rockets are rolling, having won five of their last six games, while the Wolves are badly wounded and very shorthanded. It would take an incredible individual effort from either Wiggins or LaVine for the Wolves to stay in this game for 48 minutes. Between the star-power of James Harden and Dwight Howard and the youth that is the Timberwolves, it seems unlikely that Minnesota will pull this one off.
