Cleveland Cavaliers at Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

If this was ever a game that could set up a trap for Cleveland, this may be it. The Cavaliers will cord off their schedule tomorrow with a home match against the Indiana Pacers before the All-Star break and likely they are looking ahead to here to see how they can enter the break with an impressive road win and divisional win at that to build momentum for the second act of the regular season. Minnesota has already been a problem here in the Target Center recently when Toronto came to town and this team has overall orchestrated many upsets on their own floor against heavyweight teams, this season. Minnesota outright on the Money Line, may actually be worth a look here as the public is all over Cleveland in this one by virtue of their namesake alone. Nevertheless, the Timberwolves are a dangerous basketball team on their own court and Cleveland has shown they are quite human outside of the Quicken Loans Arena. Do not be surprised if the upset actually occurs but to play it conservative here with the points is an excellent value play.
