The Minnesota Timberwolves are the better team, and winning comfortably wouldn’t be shocking. However, a lot of games for the Timberwolves this season have come down to the wire, and it’s why they’re 1-5 ATS. The Charlotte Hornets have also hung around in games as underdogs this season, and the offense has been decent. LaMelo Ball is playing like a dark horse MVP candidate through the first couple of weeks. The Hornets will cash underdog tickets if this continues. Give me the points.
