BETTING TRENDS
Minnesota are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games.
Minnesota are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against Toronto.
Toronto are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games.
Toronto are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games at home.
Prediction
The #2 offense vs the #9 defense in the NBA meet again. The Raptors are hot right now, winning 8 of their last 10 games but they have failed to cover the spread in 6 og their last 8 games at home and barely beat a shorthanded Celtics team last Monday. The Twolves have lost 2 of their last 5 games but the losses came against 3 of the best teams in the league. It should be a close game and I think the Twolves at least cover the spread.
PICK: Timberwolves +3 (-110)
