Pistons vs Timberwolves prediction
The Pistons are a lot more competitive than their record suggests, but they've failed to cover 5 of their last 7 games, and they've been double-digit underdogs in all of those games. The Timberwolves are 25-9 SU at home, and they've covered each of their last 6 games. The Timberwolves are also still fighting for the possible best seed in the West, so there's going to be motivation for Minnesota to keep racking up these victories. Big line, but the Pistons aren't cashing in these spots lately, while the Timberwolves have covered 6 straight. Give me the Timberwolves in a home beat down.
