T.M. Selection: Mavericks/Timberwolves OVER.

I am on the over in the Dallas Mavericks vs Minnesota Timberwolves game on Friday. The Mavericks have been putting up a ton of points in their games lately. They have put up 100+ points in 5 games in a row now and their 2 most recent games they actually put up 110+ points in both. They haven't looked good on the defensive end lately though and I think the T-wolves will have no issues putting up the points on them. The Mavs have given up 100+ points in 4/5 of their previous 5 games and most of those games they gave up 110+ points in. The T-wolves have looked really good themselves lately and I think they will have a big offensive night here. The Timberwolves have lost 2 games in a row now and I think they will be looking for a bounce back win here badly. They just lost their most recent game to the Suns by 9 on their own home court and they even had a 10+ point lead themselves for a lot of that game. Their other loss came to the Mavs in Dallas the other night and they lost a really close game to them by 2 points. I think the T-wolves will want to get that game back here but they don't really play hard on the defensive end either so I see both teams putting up a ton of points in this game to outscore the other and win the game that way. Their previous meeting was a very close game in the end and I expect this game to be very similar in competitiveness but I see there being a lot more points with the T-wolves being on their home court here. The T-wolves have put up 100+ points in 15 games in a row but a lot of those games were games where they were scoring 120+ and even 130+ points themselves. Both of these teams are strong on offense but don't give a good defensive effort in their games. I see this being high scoring so I like the over in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 133-128 Timberwolves.
