This is a game in which both teams have motivation to at least start the game at full throttle. This is one of the few games today in which you can reasonably know what to expect. With this in mind, I’m going with the Minnesota Timberwolves to not only win but also cover the small spread.
Final Pick
Minnesota Timberwolves -1.5 (-112)
