Houston at Minnesota

This might be one of the few times Minnesota is favored this season as the Rockets are projected to be one of the worst teams in the league after losing eight of their final nine games and finishing with a record of 17-55. Now Houston is relying on a 19-year-old in Jalen Green to get it back on track and he'll make his regular-season debut tonight after playing one year in the NBA G-League. The Rockets have a host young draftees and it will take time to get them acclimated and to blend in with the veterans, but things are being made worse by John Wall's absence as the Rockets attempt to trade him. The Timberwolves have enough scorers in Karl-Anthony Towns (24.8 points per game), Malik Beasley (19.6) and Anthony Russell (19.3). Take the Timberwolves.
