Portland Trail Blazers vs Minnesota Timberwolves prediction

I’m not excited to lay massive chalk with the Minnesota Timberwolves, especially on the end of a back to back. However, the Timberwolves have destroyed the Trail Blazers three times since January, which includes a 128-91 victory a couple of weeks ago. And while the Trail Blazers are coming off a pair of wins over the Grizzlies, they’ve still failed to cover 7 of their last 10 games overall. The Minnesota Timberwolves should be eager for a bounce back showing after a tough loss to the Clippers where neither team could score. Thick line, but the history likes the Timberwolves. I’ll lay it.
