Houston Rockets vs Minnesota Timberwolves

Houston Rockets are the pick to win. The market backs them strongly, with odds near 1.22–1.27 and an implied edge around 78%. Minnesota around 4.3, bookmakers disagree, odds drifting higher, signaling less confidence in the upset. Based on market pricing alone, and given the Rockets' clear favor, Houston looks the more likely winner; note that data on head-to-head form and injuries isn't available here.
