It’s all good vibes and good feelings for both the Raptors and Timberwolves. They’ve yet to show any sort of critical weaknesses in a combined undefeated start. Of course, that’ll end on Sunday.

Minnesota started the season with a win over Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Heat in his team debut, attempting 50 (!) 3-pointers to signal the start of a new era.

The Timberwolves pulled away to win by 22 points on Friday in Orlando in a game that, unfortunately, was clouded due to Paolo Banchero’s ankle injury for the Magic.

Clearly, G LaMelo Ball has made a difference. They’ve attempted 43.5 3-pointers per game in a more open offense where roles are pretty clearly defined. C Rudy Gobert has taken just 10 shots total in two contests.

These new-look T-Wolves will debut at Target Center against the Raptors, who are all smiles as dark horses in the Eastern Conference. According to PrizePicks, Toronto currently has the fifth-shortest payout to win the East (7.14x).

Kawhi Leonard is off to a rough start, shooting 32.4% from the floor. It hasn’t mattered. The Raptors stomped the Bulls by 43 points in their home opener and pulled away from Washington in a 112-102 win on Friday. G Immanuel Quickley had 23 points in the former, and Scottie Barnes tallied 26 in the latter.

This is a deep group of scorers that can alternate, depending on who has the hot hand. Will it be enough to topple a Minnesota team that has been bombs away from deep thus far?

Raptors vs. Timberwolves Picks, Player Stats on PrizePicks – 10/25/26

Our top Raptors vs. Timberwolves player picks for Sunday, October 25, on PrizePicks include Kawhi Leonard and Rudy Gobert.

Raptors F Kawhi Leonard vs. Timberwolves: 24.5 Points

• Leonard’s 32.4% field goal rate is substantially below his career average (49.4%) despite having two scorers on the team averaging north of 18 PPG.
• Kawhi’s 17.5 PPG are third on the team, but his 30.0% usage rate is just 2.5 percentage points off the team lead (Scottie Barnes; 32.5%).
• It’s a small sample, but Minnesota is allowing the 11th-most PPG to Leonard’s native position (27.5) at PF thus far, according to FantasyPros. 

Add Kawhi Leonard to your PrizePicks lineup now.

Timberwolves C Rudy Gobert vs. Raptors: 1.5 Assists

• This new-look Minnesota team is moving the ball. It's up to 15th in total passes per game (286.0).
• That has funneled its way to Rudy Gobert, who is averaging 4.0 potential assists per game. Gobert, usually off double teams, converted these to actual assists at a 38.6% clip a year ago.
• Again, it’s a small sample, but the Raptors are allowing the eighth-most assists per game to centers (5.8), which could be sticky because the Wolves' small lineup requires them to double centers down low.

Add Rudy Gobert to your PrizePicks lineup now.
