Free Portland Trail Blazers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves NBA Prediction:
NBA basketball is a game of momentum, and while the Timberwolves do have a win under their belt in their last outing, they are just 1-6 straight up in their last 7 overall.
Portland should get this one straight up, and quite frankly, I don’t think it’ll struggle at home against the spread, either.
Trail Blazers get this one, and they get it big.
