    Is There Any Value in BOS/MIN Tonight?
    This game really intrigues me. A ton of great angles to look at, and a big game for both teams. Minnesota is 2.5 games out of the last playoff spot, and they still feel that they are very much in the playoff race. Boston is tied with Phili for the best record in the Atlantic division. Both games are big for both teams. It's also the return of Kevin Garnett to Minnesota. Kevin I vs Kevin II.

    I think a lot of people wrote of MIN once Rubio went down, but they have a very favorable upcoming schedule (BOS, @POR, @SAC, GS, @NO, PHX). BOS on the other hand has a nightmare upcoming schedule (@MIN, MIA, SA, @CHI, @INDI, PHILI, @MIA). My guess is both teams will want this game bad. The Wolves are the only team under .500 that BOS will play for the next two weeks.

    Reports are indicating that Ray Allen will play, whereas Pekovic, Barrea, and Beasley are out for the Wolevs.

    With Boston and Garnett coming to town, I'd imagine this is one of the biggest home games for the Wolves. Do they get up for it? Anyone see any value with either side (line is at BOS -1), I'm leaning Wolves but I'd like to hear what people think of this game.

      I'm taking Boston here. Celtics for sure need this win more badly, considering how strongly they want to avoid the current standings which is setting them up against Miami in the first round. The big 3 have been playing well and I expect them to be able to beat this depleted Twolves team. K-Love has basically been carrying this team but I don't think he can win this one for them himself. Boston will come to play tonight.

      Celtics should be able to work the boards well tonight with Twolves having only Love inside.

        BOS could be looking ahead to their nationally televised game at home with MIA on Sunday, or they could say "Hey, this is the only really winnable game on our schedule for the next 2 weeks, this is a must-win."

        Tough to call, I'm going to roll with the home dog here. Home dogs seems to do well on Fridays I've noticed.

          Lean Boston too but as always with the injured players scenario, other players may put in 200% effort to win the game for Wolves.
