Timberwolves vs Trail Blazers prediction
Timberwolves vs Trail Blazers best bet: Timberwolves -6.5 (-110)
The Minnesota Timberwolves were embarrassed on Sunday, losing by 27 to a shorthanded 76ers team that shot 21-of-37 (57%) from deep.
Two days of intense film study typically spark a renewed defensive effort from the Timberwolves, which will be to the Portland Trail Blazers’ detriment tonight.

Naz Reid’s absence was felt on Sunday due to a nagging shoulder keeping him out.
While Reid is available tonight, his shooting rhythm could still be affected by that lingering issue.
A less effective Reid, combined with Minnesota’s defensive emphasis, should open up more offensive opportunities for Ayo Dosunmu.
