Minnesota Timberwolves vs Dallas Mavericks prediction
It’s going to be key to check the injury report before betting this game. The Mavs have Derrick Jones Jr., Seth Curry and Kyrie as either out or questionable. With that said, the Mavs are on a heater right now, and you get the feeling they’re eager to make a statement to another West contender. The Minnesota Timberwolves look like one of the best teams in the league, but 4 of their 5 losses this season have come on the road. Six of the last eight meetings between the Timberwolves and Mavs have been won by the home team. Give me the Mavs in this near pick em game, assuming some of the guys on the injury report play.
