Timberwolves vs Rockets Prediction

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been hit or miss all season, and it’s hard to know which team you’re getting night-to-night. However, the Rockets have cooled off with four straight losses and their loss to the Nets was pure comedy how it ended. The Rockets have some key players on their injury report, and it’s going to be interesting to see how a young team handles this frustrating stretch. The Timberwolves beat the Rockets on the road in December, and the meeting in November went to overtime. I’m not sure why the Timberwolves are an underdog at home. I’m not asking questions. I’ll grab the bucket.
