POR vs MIN Dream11: Minneista Timberwolves will be looking to snap their nine-game losing run when they play the in-form Portland Trail Blazers at Moda Center on Sunday morning. But for that to happen, Timberwolves will have to play out of their skin, for they have been very poor, and are perhaps the worst team in the NBA at the moment. They lost 108-100 against Denver Nuggets in the last match and lost more ground on the playoff positions.
Portland Trail Blazers, on the other hand, are looking to win their fourth consecutive game for the first time this season. and on the current form of both teams, you have to back Damian Lillard and Co in this game. The Blazers beat Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors and Orlando Magic in the last three matches.
