The Washington Wizards re on the end of a back to back and aren’t a team you should be running to the window to back. However, the Minnesota Timberwolves just aren’t a team I’m excited about in the favorite role, as you never know what you’re getting from this club on a night to night basis. The Timberwolves have a lot of ugly losses on their resume, they struggle to get strops defensively, and they blow leads consistently. A low IQ team. Give me the free bucket with the Wizards.
