Orlando Magic vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

Both the Magic and Timberwolves have played solid ball up to this point, so you can make a case for either side. The difference is the Timberwolves have been slightly more impressive because their defensive pressure has been relentless from start to finish. The Orlando Magic have found themselves in some shootouts, and they haven’t been able to string together stops as consistently. The Minnesota Timberwolves are easier to trust defensively, and that should be key in a possible close game. I’ll lay the bucket with the Timberwolves on Sunday afternoon.
