Minnesota Timberwolves vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction
There’s a chance Edwards returns for the Timberwolves, but this is still a team that I don’t trust night to night, especially in the big favorite role. The Mavs aren’t really trying to win and are still banged up, but the guys who take the floor do play hard. The underdog has covered 7 of the last 10 games between the Timberwolves and Mavericks. The Timberwolves win games but they’re 32-42 ATS on the season and since February 2, they’re 5-9 ATS when favorites of 5 or more points. Give me the Mavs and the buckets.
