4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Minnesota Timberwolves ML
Even though the Grizzlies have been one of the better defensive teams this year, the Timberwolves have managed to score on good defensive units above the league average. This lines up well for Minnesota as the Grizzlies have a tendency to play down to the level of their competition. On average, they allow teams like Minnesota to score at a rate above the league average.
Look for Karl Anthony Towns to have a big game offensively as the Grizzles don’t have a defender capable of stepping out to defend Towns on the perimeter.
