The Minnesota Timberwolves will certainly be up for this game, and they have the ability to steal it if they make their outside shots. With that said, there's no stepping in front of the Milwaukee Bucks until they give us a reason to step in front of them. The Bucks are flexing their muscle early as the best team in the league, and getting them in the small favorite role feels like a steal if we're being honest. Until the Bucks come back to reality, I'll continue to get behind them.
