Minnesota has won and covered both meetings this season and they are back home after two tough road losses at Brooklyn and Boston. The Timberwolves just couldn't put the ball in the basket against the Celtics as they made just 28-of-76 field goals and 7-of-23 from three-point range which wasted a good defensive effort as the Timberwolves held the Celtics to 40.4 percent shooting. Karl-Anthony Towns scored a team-leading 25 points and grabbed a career-high 23 rebounds and it was the first back-to-back losses for Minnesota since November. The home team is 13-6 ATS the last 19 meetings and Minnesota is just a slight favorite even after its two road wins over the Pelicans earlier in the season. Lay the points with the Timberwolves.
