This is a 10* COAST-TO-COAST EXPRESS on the Minnesota Timberwolves.

We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

This particular play is based on a few different factors:

As note that Minnesota is already 8-5 ATS this year after three or more consecutive losses, while Indiana is just 7-11 ATS after a win by ten points or more and 15-23 ATS against a team with a losing record.

The bottom line: After six straight losses, it's do-or-die time for the Wolves. Note that this is a revenge game as well for Minnesota after falling 109-103 to Indiana at home on January 26th. Minnesota ranks in the middle of the pack on both the offensive and defensive end. So too does Indiana. The Pacers start a tough road trip tomorrow night in Memphis, followed by games at Toronto and Cleveland, before another game at home against the Raptors. There's no question that this also sets up as a "trap" for the home side as it gets caught "looking ahead" to the upcoming grind. Are the T-Wolves going to win all of their remaining games and make the playoffs? Nope. But we're expecting this young team to come out and play with some heart tonight as it looks to get off the schneid and end the losing streak. While we obviously wouldn't be shocked by an outright upset, we will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can, play on the WOLVES.
