Minnesota Timberwolves vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction
The Dallas Mavericks and the points will always be attractive because they’re one of the better teams in the league, and you’re not going to get these chances a lot. However, the Mavs are on the end of a back to back. Also, the Timberwolves have played better their last two games, and they should’ve had this game circled considering the Mavs sent them home in last season’s playoffs. With the rest, home crowd and added motivation, I expect the Timberwolves to come out with some extra juice. I’ll lay the points with the Timberwolves.
