10* NON-CONF TOTAL OF WEEK: 21-10 NBA $URGE!
(NBA) Knicks (NYK) vs. Timberwolves (MIN),
Total: 214.50 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
This is a 10* NON-CONF TOW on the OVER Knicks/Wolves.

These teams have been involved in several lower-scoring games of late, but I think the extra time off after the Cup Final will help in leading to this one eclipsing this smaller number as the game comes down the stretch.

New York is 16-10 after its most recent 100-91 win over Orlando. The Knicks have seen the total go UNDER in three straight, but that fact is significant for us to take note of though as NY has in fact seen the total go OVER the number in eight of its last 11 after playing to three or more straight UNDERs in a row.

Minnesota is 14-11 and it's won six of its last seven. Six of its last seven have fallen UNDER the number after its most recent 106-92 road win at San Antonio. Note though that looking back the Wolves have seen the total fly OVER the number in four of theri last five off a SU/ATS road win as a favorite in which they held their opponent to 95 or fewer points in.

The overall situation that each finds itself coming into this one, combined with the numbers/trends all point to this total indeed flying OVER sooner, rather than later.

Good luck, NP
