Minnesota Timberwolves +4 / ML
Portland is playing the 4th game in 5 nights. They are coming off an OT loss to the Bulls going to this game. Past match up tells us that the Wolves is Portland's bitch. The last 3 games this season went Portland's way with close to a 20-point winning margin. This is the lowest line this season made as 13 and 12.5 point road dog and as a 7.5 home dog in that stretch. It kinda makes you wonder what's with the short line in this game.
Portland has everything going for them ATS-wise. They are 11-3 ATS on back to back games and has a winning ATS rate of 62% on the road. Wolves isn't that bad at home (well who am I kidding). Despite a 9-20 SU home record they are 17-12 ATS at home and so-so 8-8 on back to back games.
What boggles me is the short line set in this game with the Wolves playing 4 games in 5 nights as well. Going against what is logically sound and playing this craptastic card.
Noteworthy:
The UNDER 188 in Boston looks pretty good. Nets could barely put up 90 points and the Celts missing 15-20 points without Pierce in that game. Indiana Pacers give me a good vibe in that game catching which I believe a tired Bulls team playing back to back games off an OT win. The Jazz looks like they're looking ahead to the Rockets last night against the Queens.
