Minnesota Timberwolves vs Detroit Pistons prediction

The Minnesota Timberwolves could run away with things, but they’re on the road, where 9 of their 11 losses have come. Anthony Edwards is also questionable with a knee injury at the time of this writing. Also, the Pistons have been a lot more competitive lately as they just beat the Wizards, and they took the Rockets down to the last shot. The Pistons have covered 6 of their last 10 games, and they’ve won the last two games against the Timberwolves, for whatever that’s worth. Not my favorite game on the card, but its Pistons and the points or pass for me.
