Minnesota Timberwolves (ATS) ..
It's been a remarkable run for Portland over the past month. The Trail Blazers have won 10 of their past 11 games and have been tremendous ATS over that stretch. Having said that, enough is enough. Portland is a great young squad with plenty of talent. But, they still a record that's six games under .500. This is not a team that should be competing for a spot in the playoffs quite yet.
Looking at Minnesota, this is more of a team that's built to win right now. Even though the Timberwolves lost KAT in the offseason, they got Julius Randle in return. Now, Randle is out right now which isn't great news. However, the TWolves are still winning without him. They've won consecutive games now including a big win against the Rockets. Expect Minnesota to win this game by double digits.
Score Prediction: 120-103 TWolves.
