Game Prediction
The Minnesota Timberwolves are a good team, and they have survived their latest injury struggles well. However, this pick is more about how I feel about the Rockets. The Rockets were on an unbelievable winning streak, and they proved that they could win multiple ways. Therefore, I’m not going to overreact to the loss to the Mavericks. Furthermore, the loss to the Chicago Bulls by the Timberwolves concerned me more. I’m going with the Houston Rockets to at the very least cover the spread.
Final Pick
Houston Rockets +7 (-105)
