Timberwolves at Magic
(NBA) Timberwolves (MIN) vs. Magic (ORL),
Point Spread: 4.50 | -105.00 Magic (ORL) (Home)
Result: Loss
Is the wrong team favored here? Add in a potential surprise for the underdog Magic, which might get the return of Paolo Banchero, who was scoring at a 29 pg clip before suffering an oblique injury that has kept him out since Halloween. Word is Banchero returns tonight or tomorrow vs. the Bucks, but even if he waits another day, recent Orlando form suggests Jamahl Mosley is squeezing a lot more from his team than is Chris Finch with the T-wolves. Narrow wins over the Clips and Pels this week don't suggest a T-wolves turnaround, as the offense continues to look disjointed with Ant Edwards handling and shooting the ball too often, and Rudy Gobert too awkward of a fit for this offense to be on the floor 30-35 minutes per night.
