    Timberwolves -5.5

    I usually try to avoid "obvious" plays like this, but I think Minnesota wins by double-digits here. The Bobcats are losing their games vs. Western Conference teams by an average of 15 points and they don't deserve much of a bump for home court advantage, considering they've won 4 home games all year. Heck, Sagarin has Minnesota by 13 neutral! The Wolves think they are still in the playoff hunt, which means they have to win every game that they are supposed to win down the stretch. Sure they are 2-6 in their last eight, but all six losses were on road vs. mainly very good teams (Jazz in OT, Lakers, Spurs, Thunder in OT, Grizzlies). The only questionable loss was to Kings, and Sacramento is underrated at home. T-Wolves should appreciate this class drop in a big way and Kevin Love should go off. Who on Charlotte's roster can handle him inside?

    Wolves should never be favored by this much.

    Agree with Bigday.

    I remember the game when Minny was @ Nets (like 2 months ago) and the Nets were without half of their roster and Minny managed to win just by like 2 or 3. Morrow had 40 pts that game


    Minny should never be a fav in like 6 pts ON ROAD!


    PS: I know what garbage the Cats are..

    Game will probably come down to last shot. You can NEVER count on a double diggit win by the Twolves on the road, trust me...

    After the pathetic effort in the Bobcats last game where they looked lost on how to care about winning a game I will not be backing them in any spot again. Their announcers on the broadcast were commenting constantly at the end wondering what the heck they were doing. There was no sense of urgency.

    I took Bobcats +7 vs Celtics a couple of days ago, and was lucky to receive a push. Celtics were 1-7-1 on B2B road games B4 Monday.

    I think the board can make real money fading Cha, Por, and Phi (against playoff teams) the rest of the season. I couldn't take CHA ever, Min or no play. Even if CHA covers its too risky.

    Why is this confusing?? Line opens up at Minny -5.5, get hit heavy by the public, and it drops to -5 now... Makes sense.

    The line should move in the opposite direction when hit heavy by the public, so no, it does not make sense. Please enlighten us more oh wise one.

    Love could single handedly win this game and cover the spread. I can't imagine Bobcats getting a huge lead on Minnesota here, and Charlotte usually chokes in the 4Q. So assuming Love and co. are really out for a win tonight (which they really need) and know this is an easy opponent, they should cover this spread.

    Wouldn't take the Wolves. No Pekovic, Barea, and I believe Beasley is out as well. Plus Wolves lost a tough game in Memphis yesterday. Staying away from this one.

    fukking charlotte is the best 1st Quarter fade team ever. They must have lost 85% ATS in 1st Quarters this season.

    all I know is it keeps cashing , and cashing, and cashing, and cashing
