Minnesota Timberwolves vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction
The Timberwolves are still missing Anthony Edwards, while the Nets are still playing without Danny Wolf and Haywood Highsmith. The Timberwolves have yet to really get going this season, but they will be growing in confidence following their big win over the Hornets on Saturday thanks to a big game from Julius Randle. In contrast, the Nets have been one of the coldest teams in the league with six straight defeats and four of those losses were by double digits.
The Nets made it clear before the season that this was going to be a rebuild and that’s what it looked like in last night’s big loss to the 76ers. The Timberwolves aren’t nearly as dangerous without Edwards, but they were clinical in their win over the Hornets on Saturday. They should have more than enough to run past this slumping Nets squad playing their second game of a back to back set.
