Houston Rockets vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
The Timberwolves are getting some love because they went into Boston and left with a win as double-digit underdogs. It was a strong win. I’m still not in the business of backing the Timberwolves, a team that plays with their food often and is still without their best player. The Rockets have had consistency issues, but they’re the healtheir team and they should be eager to rebound from an awful loss to the Bulls. This is a bounce-back spot for the Rockets and a letdown spot for the Timberwolves. I’ll lay the bucket with the Rockets on the road.
