I'm passing on that game because I didn't find much value in either side.

Don't think theres a particularly strong play, but i gotta say its tough going against that defense. I suppose theres always the angle after a big game they might not show up against a lesser team. Here's the last couple of games in minny though:
Minny 86 Boston 88
Minny 109 Boston 107
Minny 110 Boston 85
Minny 100 Boston 103
Minny 77 Boston 80
Even in Boston they barely covered that 6 point spread:
Boston 87 Minny 86
Boston 124 Minny 117 in overtime
Boston 103 Minny 96
Boston 97 Minny 99
I don't know if Boston usually plays down to Minnesota or Minny plays them strong but just some food for thought about your pick, also Minny at home so that might give them an edge

Also in 5 home games this year Minny has:
Won by 2
Lost by 10
Lost by 4 (in overtime)
Lost by 5
Won by 6
Meaning they keep games close most of the time, if it weren't for an obvious mismatch on paper i'd really be inclined to actually take minnesota, who knows maybe i can pull the trigger tommorrow

YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! GREAT INFO..
INITIALLY I WANTED TO HAMMER THIS GAME FOR MULTI UNIT PLAY TOMORROW, I WILL PLAY LIGHT PENDING MORE INFO AND ANALYSIS. THIS BOSTON TEAM IS REALLY GOOD, BUT SO OFTEN TEAMS PLAY TO LEVEL OF THEIR OPPONENT PLUS THE AFTER BIG MATCHUP NOW FACING LESSER OPPONENT EFFECT WORTH NOTING.
THANKS AGAIN

Boston needs to win every game from now(to keep up with the lakers since they have only lost once). This game should be an easy one.. We'll see tonight.

It wasnt really a big match last night since they blew out the pistons early in the 3rd quarter. Even "The Big 3" splitting their minutes with their bench players all the way until the end.

boston doesnt need every game to win to keep up with La lakers they in different division they can care less
what they need to win is games in their division like last night against Detroit or in the future against Toronto
