The Detroit Pistons have been in great shape as they've won five of their last six games overall and they will be gunning for a fourth straight victory after outlasting the Cavaliers in a 133-122 home win on Friday.

Before they dominated the third quarter by 38-25 to open up a 21-point lead. 

Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves have been in great shape as they've won 10 of their past 13 games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after taking down the Suns in a 124-109 home win on Friday. Julius Randle led the team with 25 points, six rebounds and eight assists, Anthony Edwards added 20 points with five assists while Rudy Gobert chipped in with 17 points, 13 rebounds and four steals. As a team, the Timberwolves shot 52 percent from the field and 19 of 39 from the 3-point line as they kept a lid on the Suns from the start and held them to just 45 points in the first half. Before the Timberwolves poured in 35 points in the third quarter to lead by as many as 22 points. 

Why the Minnesota Timberwolves will win

• The Pistons have lost 11 of their last 12 night games against Northwest Division opponents that held a winning record.
• The home team has won each of the Pistons' last four games.
• The Pistons have failed to cover the spread in each of their last four games against Western Conference opponents that held a winning record.
• The home team has covered the spread in four of the Pistons' last five games.

Why the Detroit Pistons will win

• The Timberwolves have lost four of their last five games as favorites against Central Division opponents.
• The Pistons have won each of their last four games as underdogs following a home win.
• The Timberwolves have failed to cover the spread in nine of their last 10 home games against Eastern Conference opponents following a win.
• The Pistons have covered the spread in each of their last five games as underdogs against the Timberwolves.

The Pistons are still missing Cade Cunningham who is dealing with a calf bruise, while the Timberwolves are keeping an eye on Terrence Shannon Jr who is questionable for this one. We should be in for a great contest here as both teams are coming into this meeting with plenty of winning momentum. The Pistons just took down the red-hot Cavaliers for their fifth win in six outings, while the Timberwolves are looking as dangerous as ever with all their players back healthy. I get why the Timberwolves are favorites at home as Cunningham is out for the Pistons, but the Pistons won by 119-105 back on Jan 4. Something tells me this game goes down to the wire, so I will lean with the visitors and the points.
