Houston at Minnesota

Minnesota has won eight of nine meetings, including 122-95 on Jan. 5, when it shot 52 percent and held the Rockets to 40 percent shooting. The Timberwolves blew a 17-point second-quarter lead after hitting 16 of their first 21 shots on Friday before losing 108-106 to Orlando, but they still have won four of their past six games, and they are tied with Oklahoma City for the best record in the Western Conference. Houston has lost six of 10, and the Rockets are just 5-16 straight-up on the road, while Minnesota is 18-5 at home. The Rockets have been inconsistent offensively recently as they scored 135 points while defeating Toronto after scoring just 99 in a loss to New Orleans. Take the Timberwolves on the moneyline as a Max Play.
