Free Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA Prediction:
The Timberwolves have both long- and short-term momentum starting to show up on their side. Not only have they won five straight SU, but they’re coming off their most complete showing of the entire 2022-23 regular season.
The Hornets are also coming off a win, but it was a lone victory amid a slew of losses, and it was against a severely short-handed 76ers team.
Charlotte has been good against the spread of late, but the team is too tough to trust right now, while Minnesota looks more trustworthy by the day.
I like the Timberwolves SU on Friday, as does ESPN’s Matchup Predictor, favoring them 52.2 percent of the time. I might have even more confidence, though, taking the points on the road.
Give me Minnesota by a more convincing margin than you’d think.
