Dallas Mavericks vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
The Mavericks are a mess and on the end of a back-to-back and no, a win over the Trail Blazers doesn’t move me. It wouldn’t be shocking if the Timberwolves win this game in blowout fashion. However, the Wolves play with their food a lot of times, and it’s no wonder they’re 5-8 ATS on the season. The Timberwolves have failed to cover 17 of their last 29 games as a double-digit favorite. The Mavs have covered 7 of the last 10 games against the Timberwolves. I’ll take a stab with the points.
