Timberwolves vs Pistons Prediction

The Timberwolves are getting all of the love from oddsmakers because they’re at home and the Pistons don’t have Cunningham. However, the Timberwolves have played with their food all season, and it’s why they’d be in the play-in if the season ended today. The Timberwolves are also 34-39-1 ATS on the season.

The Pistons just beat the Cavs without Cade, and they beat the Timberwolves as 6.5-point underdogs back in January. The Pistons are a tough-minded defensive group and if the Timberwolves aren’t ready to match that energy, this will come down to the wire. I want the points with the Pistons, mainly due to my lack of trust in the Timberwolves.
