Minnesota Timberwolves vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction
The Minnesota Timberwolves are on the end of a back to back and fresh off a last second win, so this could be a letdown spot for a young team. The Timberwolves also just found out Karl-Anthony Towns is out for a month, so that’s a bit of a punch in the gut as well. With that said, the Cavs are without Mobley, Strus and Mitchell. It’s hard to back the Cavaliers given the injury report, especially against good teams. The Timberwolves have won the last 3 meetings against the Cavs. Pick ’em game, I’m rolling with the Timberwolves again.
