    Don't you think 196½ is a little bit high for Minnesota vs Charlotte game?
    MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES
    VS CHARLOTTE BOBCATS




    Hi basketball fans! Charlotte Bobcats will host Minnesota Timberwolves tonight at Time Warner Cable Arena while the game's total is sitting at 196½.

    Bobcats' games don't go Over the total even in OT! Bobcats won 95-86 at Washington in Overtime but total score went under (182½) the total.

    Timberwolves lost 100-106 versus Raptors in their last game, losing 13 straight! Final score was 206 points and went under the total since line was 216.

    Let's have a look at numbers!

    Charlotte Bobcats are ranked 28 on offense, averaging 94.6 points per game. The Bobcats shooting percentages include 45.0 FG%, 74.3 FT%, and 33.5 three point % so far this season. Charlotte Bobcats are 25-8 at home this season, and 15-12 against Western opponents. Bobcats are scoring 97.8 points per game when playing at home and holding their opponents to 91.1 points scored on defence.

    On the other side, Minnesota Timberwolves are ranked 21 on offense, averaging 98.1 points per game. The Timberwolves shooting percentages include 44.7 FG%, 74.5 FT%, and 33.9 three point % so far this season. Minnesota Timberwolves are scoring 98.7 points per game when playing on the road and they're allowing their opponents to score 112 points per game.

    Bobcats' game tempo is a little bit slow and they don't have a sexy shooting percentage so I don't think they will score 100+ points against Timberwolves in this contest. In addition, Under is 8-1 in Bobcats last 9 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game.

    Trends

    Under is 5-1 in Bobcats last 6 overall.
    Under is 5-2-1 in Bobcats last 8 games as a favorite.
    Under is 4-0 in Timberwolves last 4 vs. Eastern Conference.
    Under is 6-1 in Timberwolves last 7 vs. NBA Southeast.

    Bobcats and Timberwolves met only once so far this season and final score was Bobcats 93, Timberwolves 92.



    According to my calculations, I'm expecting 189-192 points to be scored in this contest. I know Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings but we can watch a low scoring game in this one. Can't really see Bobcats scoring 100+ points against Timberwolves.

    My score prediction is Bobcats 98, Timberwolves 89. I must admit that 196½ line is a little bit high for this game.

    My pick is Under 196½ Points. I wish you all a profitable night, BOL!
