Through 3 Quarters

Both the Orlando Magic and the Minnesota Timberwolves have kept the scorekeepers busy with 190 between them three quarters in. a win is still up for grabs for either team, but Orlando is up 97-93

The Magic have been relying on center Mo Bamba, who has 20 points along with nine boards and two blocks, and power forward Wendell Carter Jr., who has dropped a double-double on 20 points and ten rebounds in addition to four dimes. The top scorers for Minnesota have been center Karl-Anthony Towns (19 points) and small forward Anthony Edwards (18 points). A double-double would be Karl-Anthony Towns' fourth in a row. Towns does need to be careful, however, as he is in foul trouble with four.

This is the most points Orlando has had yet this season going into the fourth quarter.

What to Know

The Minnesota Timberwolves have enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they must head out on the road. They will square off against the Orlando Magic at 7 p.m. ET Friday at Amway Center. Averaging 130.83333333333333333333333333 points in their past six games, Minnesota's high-powered offense has been in full-swing lately, so Orlando better be ready for a challenge.

The Timberwolves took their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday by a conclusive 132-102 score. With Minnesota ahead 74-47 at the half, the matchup was all but over already. They can attribute much of their success to shooting guard Malik Beasley, who shot 11-for-17 from beyond the arc and finished with 33 points and five rebounds.

Meanwhile, Orlando didn't have too much breathing room in their contest with the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday, but they still walked away with a 108-102 win. Orlando's point guard Cole Anthony filled up the stat sheet, picking up 19 points and five assists.

The Timberwolves are the favorite in this one, with an expected 8.5-point margin of victory. They are currently six-for-six against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

Minnesota is now 38-29 while the Magic sit at 17-50. A pair of offensive stats to keep an eye on: Minnesota ranks first in the league when it comes to points per game, with 114.7 on average. Less enviably, Orlando has only been able to knock down 43.40% percent of their shots, which is the third lowest field goal percentage in the league. So the cards are definitely stacked against Orlando.
