Today's date is Monday, February 10, and the Minnesota Timberwolves (30-23) are gearing up to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers (42-10) at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland.

The Timberwolves have won three straight knocking off the Bulls, Rockets, and Blazers. The challenge increases in difficulty tonight as they face the Easter Conference-leading Cleveland Cavaliers. Since losing to Boston last Tuesday, the Cavs have won two in a row. De’Andre Hunter is expected to make his debut for Cleveland. Hunter, the former Virginia Cavalier, is expected to upgrade Cleveland’s defense along the perimeter.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are top of the Eastern Conference and are worthy favorites for this clash. However, an 11-point spread looks steep and the Minnesota Timberwolves, who have covered in seven of their last nine games as a road underdog, can keep things close in Ohio.

The Timberwolves are currently 15-11 on the road with a point differential of 4, while the Cavaliers have a 7-3 record in their last ten games at home.
