The Minnesota Timberwolves were arguably the biggest surprise throughout the NBA in game #1 as they beat a good Brooklyn Nets team on the road.

The Hornets were able to edge out the Chicago Bulls in the season opener due to their three-point shooting, but that is a hard task to repeat in consecutive games. Final Score Prediction, Minnesota Timberwolves win and cover ATS 118-107.
