Premium Pick

Minnesota wasn't expected to do much this season, but it recorded a winning season for only the second time in 17 years as coach Chris Finch has done a masterful job in his first full season. The Timberwolves finished as the NBA's highest-scoring team, averaging 115.9 points per game, and a lot of that was due to Karl-Anthony Towns, who averaged 24.6 points, and Anthony Edwards (21.3 points per game). Minnesota has gone OVER five games in a row, but it allows only 56.7 points in the first half this season, and the Clippers average 52.3 before halftime. Los Angeles is just 2-8 ATS in its last 10 games against teams with winning records, and the Timberwolves are 14-6-1 ATS following a loss. 12 of the last 17 meetings have gone OVER, and eight of nine at Minnesota have gone OVER. Take the Timberwolves ATS for a Max Play, the First-Half UNDER, and the full game OVER.
