Bucks vs Timberwolves Prediction
The Timberwolves have seen 8 of their 14 losses come on the road, and they won’t have ant man for this contest. If the Bucks are serious about gaining ground in the standings, they take advantage of spots like this at home. No excuses. The Bucks play their first home game in nearly two weeks, and they’re coming off a bad loss to the Nuggets. This has to be a bounce back spot. We’re not being asked to lay much. I have to side with the Bucks, mainly due to Edwards being out for Minnesota.
