The Minnesota Timberwolves took a 112-108 season-opening loss to the San Antonio Spurs Wednesday night.

I think they'll get their first W of the season when hosting the Cleveland Cavaliers who are getting used to life after Lebron James, but it's simply impossible to replace a player like King James. This is proven by the fact that Cleveland fell 116-104 to the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday and 14-40-2 ATS in its last 56 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points.

The Cavs are likely in for a very different kind of season than they're used to as they lack leaders, and I'm backing the talented Wolves to cover the spread in this matchup.

8* play on Minnesota Timberwolves.
