Dallas Mavericks vs Minnesota Timberwolves prediction
The Dallas Mavericks are on the end of a back to back and just blew a massive lead to lose to the Cavs in the final seconds. It could be hard for the Mavs to get off the canvas after such a performance. The Minnesota Timberwolves may or may not be without Karl-Anthony Towns, but they have the rest advantage and are at home, where they’re 12-1 SU. Whatever the line is, I have to lean toward the Timberwolves to get the job done.
