T.M. Selection: Brooklyn Nets.

I like the Brooklyn Nets to cover the spread against the Minnesota Timberwolves in this game on Sunday. The Nets have a better road record than home record this year and they are better off in their road games now compared to their home games since Kevin Durant is out with injury. At least in road games Kyrie Irving is eligible to play for them which helps them out a lot. The Nets have won 2 games in a row and they have also won 3 of their previous 4 road games. The T-wolves haven't been lights out on their home court this year and they are below .500 at the moment while the Nets are the best team in the East. I think the Nets are going to play hard in this game to get the win. They know they have a better chance of winning road games in their current situation and I expect Kyrie to carry a big part of the load in their games. He has looked really good in the games he has played in and he looks like he is getting better and better in each game. I think the more he plays and gets back into it he will be even better and will be able to carry the team in their road games and help keep them at the top of the East until Durant comes back. The T-wolves have won 2 home games in a row but 1 was against the Warriors who were missing almost all of their starters and they best the thunder who are one of the worst teams in the league this year. I think the Nets are going to show the T-wolves why they are the best in the East and get a big road win here. I think Kyrie steps up in this game and does whatever he can to keep this team at the top by winning all of their road games. I like the Nets to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 118-108 Nets.
