Premium Pick

There is something about a team with a big star that is also a leader. If you look back at the Tim Duncan era in San Antonio they have a 303-66 record at home over the last 9 years. Something is beginning to happen in Cleveland as this LeBron James led team begins to rise into its playoff era. They began to take the home-court seriously and have now won 15 of their last 16 playing in Cleveland with the loss an OT game. Minnesota on the other-hand has fallen sharply from what they have been in the past. Like the team developing a home-court dominance, one of the things a team that is on the spiral down experiences is the inability to win on the road. Minnesota has become one of those teams and have won just 4 of their last 29 on the road, and in the process has covered just 10 of those 29. We will take the Cavs to take care of business tonight vs the Wolves.
