They've had 4 days to prepare for a national TV game at home. The Rockets have looked strong this year but I'm thinking Minnesota makes this one competitive tonight.
Lot of young guns on that Timberwolves team. Pekovic is one of the few guys who can actually match up with Howard. He's not much of a rim protector but he should be able to hold his own on the glass tonight.
Timberwolves +6.5 looks good to me.
