The Toronto Raptors enter Wednesday night’s contest versus the Minnesota Timberwolves searching for a fifth consecutive win. That would match the 5-0 mark in which they started the 2015-16 season off.
This match-up is favourable for the Raps, who haven’t lost a home game against Minnesota since 2004. Overall since then, they’ve dominated the Wolves, taking 23 of 27 games. Moreover, the Timberwolves have started the season poorly from a defensive standpoint. In their first four games, they’ve allowed their opponents an average of 117 points per game despite not yet having played any of the NBA’s elite offensive juggernauts.
