Minnesota Timberwolves vs Washington Wizards prediction

The Washington Wizards are more than capable of getting their boots smoked here, but this is a ton of points for a home team and despite their issues, the Wizards can score. The Minnesota Timberwolves have seen 9 of their 13 losses this season come on the road, and they’re not as dominant overall as they were earlier in the season. The Timberwolves allows teams to hang around due to turnovers on offense and a defense that’s relaxed a bit. Lot of free buckets. I’ll take a stab with the Wizards and the points.
