This is a big mismatch with the teams going in opposite directions. Young Minnesota has really taken off this season, the No. 4 seed in the West. 22-year old All-Star center Karl-Anthony Towns (20 points per game, 12.2 rebounds per game) is having a dominant campaign, Jimmy Butler is back from an injury, and Timberwolves forward Andrew Wiggins is averaging 24.8 points over his last five games. Minnesota is 7-3 ATS playing on one day of rest and faces the NBA-worst Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks are #21 in scoring and shooting, while the defense is #23 in points allowed, #26 in field goal shooting allowed, and #27 at defending the three. Atlanta has lost three in a row surrendering 119.3 points per game, including allowing Washington to shoot 57.6 percent the last game, a 129-104 no-show loss...at home! The road team is 12-5-2 ATS when these teams clash, with the Timberwolves 7-1-2 ATS at Atlanta. Play Minnesota.
