Free Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves NBA Prediction:
For one thing, the Timberwolves have won five of their last six straight up, but it’s Cleveland that will have the best player on the court Saturday—not to mention a 5-2 record SU in their last seven overall.
Donovan Mitchell Is En Fuego
Donovan Mitchell is way past heating up. Also, he’s looking like a sure-fire All-Star out East, and he has his Cavaliers fighting for a top-four seed in the Eastern Conference entering the second half of the 2022-23 regular season.
Additionally, on Saturday, Mitchell will have his way again. He’s averaging 29.2 points per game on the season and 37 points per game in January.
With that in mind, Cleveland is the pick here both straight up and against the spread.
All in all, I don’t think this one is close by the final buzzer.
