Pistons Wolves Free Pick: Wolves -1.5
Here is my Pistons Wolves free pick.
Teams ideally want to be fully healthy heading down the stretch but both squads are dealing with their superstars out and a slew of injured or hampered players.
Detroit has eight players on the injury list including superstar Cade Cunningham, but may also be without Jalen Duren, Ausar Thompson, Tobias Harris, Caris LeVert, Duncan Robinson, and Marcus Sasser who are all game time decisions.
The Wolves are without Anthony Edwards and may also be without Jaden McDaniels who is a game time decision.
Minny could still finish as high as third as they trail the fourth place Nuggets by a half game and the third place Lakers by two games.
With this uncertainty about the Pistons combined with how well the Wolves have been playing, I like Minny to capture the win and cover the minor spread.
