It doesn't matter than Karl Anthony-Towns is back. The Timberwolves remain terrible. They have lost seven in a row. Minnesota has been terrible at home all season winning just six of 21 times at Target Center. The Timberwolves have covered only 32 percent of their past 26 games.
The buy sign is back on Houston after the Rockets beat the Nuggets, 121-105, at home two days ago. The Rockets play at Denver, Utah and Portland in their next three games. So they don't want to open this road trip with a loss to the worst team.
