Cavaliers vs Timberwolves prediction

The Cavaliers remain in a slump, and they’re going to once again be without Wade, Mitchell, Mobley and Strus. However, the Timberwolves have a questionable Edwards, Reid, Gobert, and they’re of course still without Towns. There are so many key players in this game either out or questionable, I can’t lay chalk with either side until knowing who is playing and who isn’t. Check the injury report before locking in a bet. At the time of this writing, I’m rolling with the Cavs and the free points due to the unknown. It also doesn’t hurt that the Cavs beat the Timberwolves earlier this month.
