Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is leaning towards the Timberwolves -10.5…

Thomas: “The Magic are coming off a big win last night against the Pelicans. However, back-to-back road games feel a bit tough for a struggling team. They played in Orlando in January, and the Timberwolves won and covered. The Timberwolves have also covered in five of their last six.”
