OUR PREDICTION: The Timberwovles are 0-4 against the spread in their last four games in Boston but it's hard to bet against a team that is red-hot at the betting window right now. Minnesota has cashed in five of its last six road games, is 17-4 against the number in its last 21 games versus an opponent with a winning record and is 7-1 against the spread in its last eight games coming off an ATS win. The Celtics, meanwhile, have failed to cover in six of their last eight home games and are just 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games playing on two days of rest.
