Brooklyn Nets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves prediction
The struggles that Harden faced in the first part of the season seem to be gone. His game is clicking with Irving back on the floor.
The Timberwolves had three full days off without a game, so they do have the advantage in that category. However, the Nets are back in first place for a reason and even without Durant, Harden and Irving have taken over.
We’re taking the Nets -2 and over 236.5 points.
Brooklyn 121, Minnesota 113.
