Brooklyn at Minnesota

The Brooklyn Nets appeared to be on their way up in the Eastern Conference, putting together a solid playoff team a year ago. They have not gotten on track at all this season, but despite of all that they sit just three games away from the final playoff spot in the NBA Eastern Conference. They snapped a five game slide with a win their last time out, which should put an extra hop in their step tonight as they take on Minnesota. Minnesota traded away today for tommorow and have had an ugly season. The T-wolves have dropped four straight and the offense has been generating just 92.8 points per game in the four losses. Brooklyn has struggled also in their last five games, but dug in on the defensive end in their last game vs. Philly, another offensively challenged team, holding them to just 87 points. I sense a similar result here as the Nets are desperate and know they can't let a win slip away against a poor team, and they have been productive on the road at 6-2 ATS in their last eight. The T-Wolves limited roster has struggled on no rest where they are 8-23-1 ATS in their last 32. Brooklyn is 21-10 to the UNDER in their last 31 on the road, and that includes 9-2 to the UNDER on the road vs. a team that is less than .400 at home. The last four have failed to make the total here in this series. Make the play on Brooklyn and the UNDER.
