Minnesota Timberwolves vs Indiana Pacers prediction

The Indiana Pacers are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, and the Timberwolves already ruled out Karl-Anthony Towns with a knee injury. I get it. Still, we’re getting the better team in the Timberwolves and a free bucket. This is the first time since February 12 the Timberwolves have been underdogs, and it’s the fourth time in 2024 they’ve been underdogs. Don’t get the Timberwolves in this spot often, folks, and let’s not act like the Pacers are super consistent. The Pacers still have defensive issues. Give me the Timberwolves and the free bucket.
