Charlotte Hornets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves NBA Odds
Free Charlotte Hornets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves NBA Prediction:
Both of these franchises have lacked clarity this season. On the one hand, Charlotte didn’t expect to be near the bottom of the standings but has turned into a full-fledged tank thanks to injuries.
Conversely, Minnesota refuses to tank, but its status as a top-six team out West is tough to buy into unless Karl-Anthony Towns returns from injury sooner than expected.
Expect a Close One
Neither of these teams presents as a huge challenge right now, but the Timberwolves have a spot in the playoffs to shoot for.
With that in mind, I’m taking the Timberwolves straight up—even though I think the Hornets scrap their way to an ATS victory in a close contest.
