Orlando Magic vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

All of a sudden the Timberwolves are healthy, and they’ve won six straight games while covering seven of their last 10 games. The Timberwolves are quickly reminding folks what they’re capable of despite the ups and downs throughout the season. The Magic remain in their awful stretch of incompetent offense, bad losses, and failed covers in six of their last eight games. The Timberwolves beat the Magic by 15 points on the road back in January, and they’re an even better, healthier team now. I’ll keep fading the Magic. Thick line, but I have to side with the Timberwolves.
