Hornets vs Timberwolves Prediction

The Timberwolves are on the end of a back-to-back and have been hit or miss all year, but none of that should matter here. The Hornets have not only lost nine of their last 10 games, but all of those losses are historically bad. The Hornets are consistently losing games by double-digit points, and have a few losses by 30-plus points. It’s ugly, and the Hornets have failed to cover seven of their last 10 games, so oddsmakers can’t even make the lines big enough. The Timberwolves are getting healthier and this is the perfect game to work guys in and get their feet under them. This game shouldn’t be close. Give me the Timberwolves in a bloodbath.
