Timberwolves -3 over Lakers (win)
The Timberwolves did what they needed to do in Los Angeles to shift home-court advantage in their favor. Minnesota doesn’t wow anyone in one phase of the game but should win on the boards against a frail rebounding Lakers team with a weak bench. Having the home crowd is key in this series. If the Timberwolves can knock down three-pointers behind Anthony Edwards and secure rebounds with Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle, they have a great chance to surge ahead in this series. Look for Minnesota to limit second chance opportunities and secure the victory on their home court. Take the Timberwolves.

Rotation # 959
Braves -130 over Diamondbacks (win)
Sale/Gallen
I didn’t like what I saw out of Arizona last night, as their offense hit a wall. Both starters have struggled to start the season but are capable of having big nights. Atlanta starter Chris Sale is looking to get back to his all-star performance from a season ago. The Diamondbacks struggle against left-handers and could be sluggish after an extra-inning loss last night to the Rays. Atlanta has struggled and is in a good position to pick up a road victory. Take the Braves.
