Washington has been a good team at home, going 13-6 this season. The Wizards have the talent to win, but it just seems to show up in Washington. The Timberwolves certainly have plenty of young talent, but they can’t seem to piece it all together in a way that can win consistently. I expect Washington to stay hot at home and pick up a comfortable win tonight.
