Free Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Houston Rockets NBA Prediction:
The Timberwolves were without Rudy Gobert defending the paint on Saturday against the same Rockets in what ended up being a 113-104 win SU and a successful cover of an 8-point spread.
That’s not a good sign for the Rockets on Monday whether Gobert ends up suiting up or not.
Give this one to the road Timberwolves both against the spread and straight up regardless of whether Gobert plays on Monday.
