NBA Public Betting Trends

Minnesota

The under is 4-1 in the last five T-Wolves games on one day of rest. Minnesota is 13-37-1 ATS in the last 51 meetings.

Portland 

The over is 4-1 in the last five Trail Blazers home games. Portland is 18-7-1 ATS in the last 26 home meetings versus the Timberwolves.

Prediction:

Minnesota is going to have some turmoil as long as Butler is around to stir the pot. He is basically playing whenever he wants on back-to-backs, but with a day off yesterday he should be in the lineup tonight. Even though the Blazers played last night, I have to like them at home against a T-Wolves squad that is 0-4 on the road. Portland looked good in the fourth quarter yesterday and the hope would be that there is a carry over affect.
