Premium Pick

Detroit is tanking for the fourth year in a row with the worst record in the Eastern Conference and the Pistons have lost seven of eight after a 132-118 defeat against Chicago last night. The Bulls shot 57.6 percent and the game went OVER by 19.5 points and the Pistons are 7-3 OVER their past 10 games. Detroit allows 118.9 points per game on the season and Minnesota shoots 49.0 percent from the field and 34.2 percent on 3-pointers. The Timberwolves are home following four road contests and they have a golden opportunity to end a losing streak as they have won and covered the past five meetings although this is the first one this season. Minnesota is 17-6 ATS against teams with .400 or below winning percentages and they are 10-4 OVER playing with no rest. Play the Timberwolves and the OVER.
