Minnesota Timberwolves vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction
The Timberwolves are the more consistent, healthier team, but right when you’re ready to believe in them, they lose to the 76ers as near double-digit favorites. I’ve said all season that the Timberwolves are a team that plays with their food and can’t be trusted with big numbers. The Trail Blazers have run into a rough patch lately, but they’re getting players back from injury, and they’ve been a tough out at home. This is also a revenge spot after the Timberwolves waxed the Blazers earlier this month. I expect a competitive game, as Portland can’t throw away home games if it hopes to play deep into April. Give me the points.
