Detroit Pistons vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

The Minnesota Timberwolves are getting love from oddsmakers because they’re the better team with the rest advantage. The Detroit Pistons played an ugly game last night against the Hornets. However, the Pistons are a scrappy bunch that’s getting after it defensively and forcing oodles of turnovers. The Pistons are winning me over by the week, and I’m finding value with them in the underdog role. The Timberwolves have seen 9 of their 16 losses come on the road. The Pistons have also won 5 of their last 6 games. Slowly but surely, the Pistons are learning how to win and will be a team worth watching down the stretch. Give me the points with the Pistons at home.
