Timberwolves at Hornets 10/25/19 - NBA Picks & Predictions

The Spectrum Center will play host to a Friday night NBA clash between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Charlotte Hornets. The Timberwolves are not expected to be a playoff contender, but have one of the best big-men in the game in Karl-Anthony Towns. On Wednesday, Minnesota spoiled Kyrie Irving’s debut during a 127-126 road victory against Brooklyn. 

Karl-Anthony Towns led six Minnesota players in double figures with 36 points and 14 rebounds. Andrew Wiggins chipped in 21 points on an inefficient 10-for-27 shooting effort.

The Charlotte Hornets lost All-Star G Kemba Walker in the offseason to Boston and have moved forward with a full-blown rebuilding process. On Wednesday, Charlotte erased a ten-point deficit with just over six minutes remaining to score an exciting 126-125 home victory versus Chicago. The Hornets won despite being outrebounded 58-48 and turning the ball over 19 times.

Rookie P.J. Washington nailed seven three-pointers and tallied a team high 27 points. Devonte’ Graham contributed 23 points and eight assists in 27 minutes off the Charlotte bench.
