The Minnesota Timberwolves continue to play dumb ball down the stretch, and they’re not a team I trust against above average teams. The Milwaukee Bucks play their best ball at home, where they win by an average of 10 points and shoot 48.4 percent from the field. I just have no confidence in the Timberwolves, a team that turns the ball over and finds ways to lose. Give me the Bucks and the reasonable number.
