NBA Betting Trends

Minnesota

The Timberwolves are 6-2 against the spread in their last eight road games and 6-1 ATS in their last seven following a win.

Atlanta

The Hawks are just 2-8 against the spread in their last 10 Wednesday games and 5-12 ATS in their last 17 home games against a team with a losing road record.

Prediction:

The Hawks got a road win in the lone meeting this season, but the Timberwolves are a team that is playing pretty well and has more at stake. Minnesota is still in the playoff mix and facing a really poor defensive team. The Hawks shouldn’t have the players to combat Towns consistently and Minnesota also has plenty of scoring to match the guard play of the Hawks.

NBA Prediction: Minnesota Timberwolves -4
