The Brooklyn Nets should be motivated for a revenge spot after getting waxed by the Lakers on Saturday, but they’re going to be without Harden and Kyrie for this contest. The Minnesota Timberwolves aren’t winning, aren’t covering and are on the end of a back to back, but they have been more competitive lately, which includes losing their last five games by an average of just 4.8 points. The Timberwolves also hung around the Nets when these teams met a couple weeks ago. It’s the Timberwolves and the points or pass.
