Prediction
Timberwolves 121, Magic 112
Money line (ML)
The Timberwolves (-275) will cost you nearly three times your potential return, and that’s just a little too costly despite the fact the Magic (+220) are skidding quite hard.

The TIMBERWOLVES -6.5 (-110) are 3-1-1 ATS across the past five games on the road, and they’re 3-1-2 ATS in the past six against teams with a losing overall record.
The Magic +6.5 (-110) have dropped the past two by an average of 23.0 PPG, and Orlando screams stay away.
Over/Under (O/U)
