– 10/25/2019 FREE PICK & NBA BETTING PREDICTION

It’s a full Friday night of basketball across the NBA.

In this game the Minnesota Timberwolves make the trip to the Spectrum Center to take on the Charlotte Hornets. The home team has won the last four games played between the two teams.

Minnesota Timberwolves

The Minnesota Timberwolves probably know there are going to be some growing pains this season but at least for the first game of the season they were able to come away with a big victory.

The center of this team is Karl-Anthony Towns and he proved why he could be an MVP candidate this year. Against the Nets he scored 36 points and 14 rebounds. He was also 7-11 from the three point line.

The one thing that is a difference about this Timberwolves team is they look like a team. Early last year there was no chemistry and it hled to a ton of issues.

This group looks like they are actually happy playing with eachother, and that is going to be a big key if things do get tough this year.

Charlotte Hornets

On the other side of this matchup is the Charlotte Hornets who are not expected to be a very good team this year but if nothing else they should be a fun team to watch.

The defense wasn’t good in the first game against the Bulls giving up 126 points, but the offense stepped up in a big way and it led to a one point victory.

PJ Washington looks like he can be a very good player in this league. In 38 minutes he put up 27 points, four rebounds, and one assist.

In this game they need to find a way to slow down Karl-Anthony Towns. If they struggle against him they could be in big trouble.
