The Memphis Grizzlies (29-14) host the Minnesota Timberwolves (20-21) amid a franchise-best 10-game winning streak.
Memphis is firing on all cylinders, despite never being 100% healthy. Someone in the rotation is constantly out of action, whether it be due to injury or Covid-19 protocols.
The Timberwolves enter this game having won four of their last five games and have shown resiliency against many of the top-tier teams in the league.
The teams have currently split the season series (1-1). Memphis won the first meeting of the season 125-118 in OT. Minnesota took game two, 138-95 on Nov. 20.

Grizzlies starting line-up vs Timberwolves
Expect Memphis to roll with the same starting line-up they used against the Lakers and Warriors: Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Ziaire Williams, Kyle Anderson and Jaren Jackson, Jr.
Memphis Grizzlies vs Minnesota Timberwolves Jan. 13 prediction
The Grizzlies hope to continue to ride the laser-focused Ja Morant to an eleventh consecutive win.
The Grizzlies will need to get a rebound game from Desmond Bane and De’Anthony Melton, who struggled greatly against the Warriors.
Look for Ziaire Williams to continue to flourish in his new role as a starter. He’s been shooting lights out, never dipping his shooting percentage below 44% in the past five games. He’s scored a career-high 17 points against Golden State.
Jaren Jackson and Karl-Anthony Towns is going to be an exciting match-up to watch. Whoever wins this one-on-one match-up is likely to end up winning the game. Jackson is averaging 3.2 blocks per game in the past five games. He’s going to be a problem for the Timberwolves in this game.
Prediction: Grizzlies 112, T’Wolves 106
