The Minnesota Timbervolves have been a team of greater expectations than results over the past couple of seasons. That has gone silent after they dealt Kevin Love for Andrew Wiggins. They are still a talented team, but are very young and are off to a woeful 4-13 start to the season. Over the last month, Minnesota owns just two wins, and that was against the LA Lakers and New York Knicks - a pair of teams that are a combined 9-30 to start the season. Houston has a great road resume at 7-1. This is a strong offensive team that is playing both ends as the Rockets have held 14 of 18 opponents to under 100 points on the season. The T-Wolves struggle against elite teams where they are 14-30-2 ATS in their last 46 against a team better than .600, and just 2-10-1 ATS in their last 13 games overall. The Rockets are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 here. Lay the points, and play on Houston.
