Minnesota Timberwolves vs Brooklyn Nets prediction
The Minnesota Timberwolves are a young team and that’s a concern with them on the end of a back to back. A drop in focus and the Nets could steal this game. With that said, the Nets have been terrible over the last month and once a covering machine, they’re now 20-21-2 ATS on the season. It’s hard to back the Nets with confidence these days. Assuming the real Timberwolves show up, they should roll here and cover the reasonable number.
