Minnesota Timberwolves vs Toronto Raptors Prediction

The Timberwolves could be shorthanded for this one, with Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle both listed as questionable, while the Raptors are still missing Jakob Poeltl. This is another game where you should check the lineups before tipoff, as the status of Edwards and Randle will have a significant impact on the line come tipoff. However, as it stands, I prefer a small play on the Raptors to earn the minor upset win at home against what could be a shorthanded Timberwolves squad.
