The Timberwolves have been on a nice run over the last few weeks, but they have also been beating up on bad teams. While Detroit isn’t a good team, I think the Pistons are a tough team to beat on their home floor. The Pistons had a nice win over the Pelicans at home two days ago and I think they will build on that tonight against this top-heavy Minnesota team.
