Free Houston Rockets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves NBA Prediction:
The Timberwolves needed a serious fourth-quarter rally to win after being down 14 points, but they improved to 6-1 at home SU during the month of January.
Timberwolves a Safer Bet
Minnesota isn’t exactly a team you can count on night in and night out, but their recent home record is nothing to scoff at, and their competition won’t do much to challenge that record Saturday night.
All that considered, give this one to the Timberwolves at home both straight up and against the spread.
