Game Prediction
Both teams have been in a slump as of late. The absence of Karl-Anthony Towns is huge, and Minnesota has struggled without him. Atlanta is the better team here, and I love what Trae Young can do on the court. The Young and Dejounte Murray duo is dangerous, and Minnesota will have a hard time covering them. Give me Atlanta in this one at home.
