Free NBA Basketball Pick Today: Minnesota Timberwolves -7.0 (-110)
The Timberwolves won last season's two games by an average of 11 points. This season's first meeting takes place Saturday and I like Minnesota's chances at another victory. The T-Wolves are 22-11 at home. The Magic are 13-15 on the road. Orlando does come off wins over Dallas (barely) and Washington. However, those victories came at home and those teams have records of 21-41 and 16-46. Before beating those teams, the Magic were blown out in consecutive games, when facing stronger opposition. The T-Wolves have won five straight and eight of their last nine. Six of those eight victories, including each of the past three, have come by a minimum of seven points. Given the current form of the two teams, the Wolves should beat Orlando by more than that. *good at -8 or better
