Atlanta Hawks vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

Right when it looked like the Atlanta Hawks were turning the corner a bit, they lost and filed to cover each of their last four games. Now Trae Young is out along with a laundry list of injuries already. The Minnesota Timberwolves have been winning the games they're supposed to win despite not covering, and they should be able to beat up an undermanned Hawks squad. Also, the Hawks were by far the worst cover team in the league last season, and here they are with a cover percentage of 40 percent this season. Only the Wizards, Kings, 76ers, and Suns are worse at covering numbers currently. Give me the Timberwolves in a double-digit victory.
