Blazers & T-Wolves: Under
Game Time: 11/14/2006 8:00:00 PM
By: Ben Burns
With a profitable history of unders between them, look for this evening's Blazers-T-Wolves matchup at the Target Center to fall below the posted total.
The Trail Blazers and Timberwolves tend to play extremely low-scoring games against each other.
Ten days ago they combined for 174 points (88-86 Blazers) at Portland. That was a pretty typical score for them as it marked the third straight meeting which finished with exactly 174 points. It also brought the under to a perfect 8-0 the last eight series meetings and a profitable 11-1 in the last 12. The average combined score of those 12 games? You guessed it...174 points.
Jarret Jack leads Portland with 2.6 steals per game while Joel Przybilla is averaging 2.5 blocks. Minnesota is led in those categories by Ricky Davis (1.3 steals) and Kevin Garnett (1.7 blocks) who is also averaging 23.3 points per game and 11.2 rebounds.
