Minnesota Timberwolves vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction

I’m not a fan of laying big numbers with a Timberwolves team that plays with its food a lot. The Timberwolves also have a questionable Edwards and Randle. Still, the Timberwolves are 4-0 SU and ATS in their last 4 games and just made light work of the Grizzlies a couple of days ago. The Grizzlies have a lengthy injury report and have failed to cover 7 of their last 9 games. I have a hard time trusting the Grizzlies in their current form. Give me the Timberwolves and the chalk.
