Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves head-to-head record
Minnesota has defeated Houston four times in the last five matchups, including their most recent meeting on February 7, 2025, when they triumphed 127-114. Additionally, on the 28th of December 2024, the Timberwolves won by a slim margin of 113–112, demonstrating their capacity to perform under pressure. Houston's only win within this time frame was a 117-111 triumph on November 27, 2024. Because of this prior record, Minnesota has dominated, frequently reducing Houston's offensive effectiveness. But the Rockets' potent rebounding, spearheaded by Alperen Sengun, may have a significant role in upsetting Minnesota's flow. Minnesota's attack will probably be led by Anthony Edwards, who is currently scoring well, while Houston will rely on Jalen Green's current scoring run to stay competitive. Minnesota's 8-9 mark in one-possession matchups indicates some vulnerability, which could allow Houston to score late if the game remains tight.
