Minnesota Timberwolves vs Houston Rockets Prediction

The Minnesota Timberwolves should get the benefit of the doubt at home, but they’ve lost 5 of their last 7 Games, and I’m not getting the warm and fuzzy feeling. As I said weeks ago, the Houston Rockets are a young, talented team heading in the right direction, and they’re 7-3 SU and ATS in their last 10 Games. The Rockets are more than capable of winning this Game outright with the way they’re playing. There’s going to be value with the Rockets and free points.
