Mavericks vs. Timberwolves Betting Prediction

The Mavs should be able to pull away with a result in this game, following a disappointing loss in their last. Luka didn’t have the best of outings in the last game, but will be out for blood tonight.

The Timberwolves aren’t the best in perimeter defense and that should hamper their chances of winning.

Mavericks: -152
