Timberwolves at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

forecast

Timberwolves 121, Trail Blazers 107

Money line

The Timberwolves (-400) will cost you four times your potential return, and that's way too much risk for too little reward.

Even as part of a multi-game game, there is no point in supporting Minnesota as it will eat up the entire value of your ticket.

AVOID.

Against the spread

Back the WOODWOLVES -8.5 (-110) to get the job done in the Rose City. Minnesota beat Portland by just 25 points over the weekend, and this Trail Blazers +8.5 (-110) team was punished by 45 points last time at home by a Memphis team that didn't even have 45 points Yes Morant.

Over/Under

OVER 218.5 (-110) is worth a look considering how poorly Portland's defense played. The Blazers have allowed 118 points or more in three straight games, finishing 2-1 over that span, including the most recent meeting with Minnesota.

The Timberwolves have scored big in 5 of the last 7 games and have scored 112 or more points in 7 of the last 9 games.
