3% Take Minnesota (#517)

Minnesota has been at their best on the highway in recent weeks, pulling outright upsets at Dallas (+6), the LA Clippers (+6.5), Utah (+9), New Orleans (+2), Atlanta (+4.5) and Sacramento (+4.5) while covering as short road chalk against the Lakers.  They’re 4-0 ATS in their last four on the highway and 4-0 ATS in their last four tries as underdogs on any floor, including a two point spread covering loss to the mighty Celtics earlier in the week.  

The quotes coming out of Chris Finch’s locker room are nearly uniformly positive these days; a positive chemistry team down the stretch.  Rudy Gobert, following the Celtics game: “I like the way we fought tonight. The way we stayed locked in on defense, playing defensively.  Not having a lot of things going our way.  We….kept our composure.”

The T-wolves hung 150 on Chicago in the lone previous meeting between these two teams this year; capable of an offensive explosion on any given night.  They’re catching a Bulls team that has struggled repeatedly at home in recent weeks; just 2-5 SU/ATS in their last seven tries on this floor. As favorites of less than five points, the Bulls are just 5-11 ATS full season, consistent money losers.  There’s urgency for both teams tonight; locked in heated playoff chases and coming off tight losses.  In spots like these, I want my money on the better team; clearly Minnesota based on my power ratings.  Live dog here!  Take the T-wolves.
