Timberwolves at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

forecast

Timberwolves 118, Trail Blazers 106

Money line

Tuesday's tournament game should serve as a cautionary tale about why never bet on big favorites.

The Timberwolves (-390) will cost you almost four times your potential return, and that simply has no value.

AVOID.

Against the spread

We will support that WOODWOLVES -9 (-110) to recover from Tuesday's embarrassment. It's hard for teams to beat another twice in a row, and there's no way the Trail Blazers +9 (-110) will be anywhere near as hot as they were on Tuesday. This has been evident throughout the season.

Portland is 0-3 SU and 1-1-1 ATS when not on a break in three games this season, including the loss and loss of coverage at Minnesota on November 8th.

Minnesota is 1-1 SU/ATS in 2 straight games, and that lone win and cover came against the Blazers on November 8th after they beat the Bulls the night before in Chicago.

Over/Under

OVER 219.5 (-110) That's lean, but go lightly. Both defenses could be depleted after any game within the last 24 hours. But at least they didn't have to travel.

The over is 3-1 in their last 4 games for Minnesota and 6-2 in their last 8 games. For Portland, the over is 3-1 in their last 4 games, including the 2 meetings with the Wolves.
