The Wolves head back to Minnesota on Saturday for this brief home visit before heading back on the road on Monday to face the Spurs. Minnesota ran out 29-point winners over the Lakers when they met only two weeks ago, a game that saw the Wolves shoot over 50% from the field and 41% from three. The injury report suggests LeBron James is likely to sit this game out with a foor injury, adding further offensive concerns with Austin Reaves and Jared Vanderbilt also missing. With the line still under double digits, it’s worth jumping on the Wolves as early as you can.
Tip: Back the Wolves to Cover the Line (-8 Points) @ $1.90
The Blazers and Spurs return from lengthy four-day breaks for a rematch of their November 7 game that resulted in well over 200 points. The Spurs have been tough to trust on the road (3-6 overall), while the Blazers also own a losing record at home. It’s worth noting seven of the last 10 games between these two have all fallen Over the Total, so with Wemby back on the court and the Blazers ranked Top 10 in points allowed to opponents, a high-scoring game looks the logical play.
Tip: Over 223.5 Total Points @ $1.90
