T.M. Selection: Timberwolves/Grizzlies OVER.

I am on the over in the Minnesota Timberwolves vs Memphis Grizzlies game on Tuesday. The T-Wolves took the 1st game of this series 130-117 and that was a very high scoring affair but there was also no defense from either team in this game. Considering that both of these teams have been involved in a lot of high scoring affairs lately, I expect this game to be no different after that offensive showing in the 1st game. The Grizzlies really couldn't get much going in that game and they ended up trailing most of the time on their own home court but I think they are going to play a lot harder here since they won't want to go into Minnesota down 2-0 in the series. I expect Ja Morant to step up more in this game and I think he will get more offensive contribution from the rest of his team too. The T-Wolves have given up 100+ points in 9 games in a row now but 7 of those games saw them giving up 120+ points to the opposing team. They still put up 100+ points themselves in all 9 of those games and they won a majority of them too so they were putting up enough points to outscore the opposing teams. The Grizzlies are good on the offensive end and I expect them to come out stronger in this game down 1-0 in the series after a home game. The Grizzlies have put up a ton of points in their games this year and they have had 100+ points in 34 games in a row. The Grizzlies are going to get their points in this game and we already know from the 1st game that the Timberwolves can score points on them too. Neither team looked good on the defensive end in game 1 and I expect that to be the same here as the offenses will dominate in this game. I like the over here.

T.M. Prediction: 132-127 Grizzlies.
