The Bucks will be without Taurean Prince and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Milwaukee Bucks vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

The Bucks are still down Antetokounmpo, and they’re not losing games or covering numbers much. The Timberwolves have the ability to blow this game out of the water. However, the Timberwolves do play with their food often, and it’s why they’re 11-17 ATS on the season. The Timberwolves are also coming off an emotional win over the Thunder. This is a let-down spot. The Timberwolves are also 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a double-digit favorite. I want the points with the Bucks on Sunday night, but it’s a fade of the Timberwolves more than anything.
