Toronto Raptors vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

The Toronto Raptors are possibly the most banged-up team in the league with countless rotation players out, and they’re on the end of a back-to-back. These are spots that usually crush banged-up teams.  The Minnesota Timberwolves are rested, at home, and they found some of their rhythm against the Kings. This is a spot where the Timberwolves should roll comfortably. The Raptors are a bad team that’s even worse due to all of their injuries. Give me the Timberwolves in a home beatdown.
