Minnesota at Dallas

Something is going to have to give here tonight. Dallas is riding high, and after starting 0-4, has come on like gangbusters, and have reeled off 9 straight, and covering eight in the process. Minnesota has suddenly gotten hot, winning and covering three straight. The history here is on the side of the T-Wolves. The past 5 years the T-Wolves have come to Dallas facing Dallas teams that were on combined runs of 41-13, so they have been here before while the Mavs have been on a roll. They actually won two of the games outright, and never lost by more than 7. The fact is, the Wolves have only lost one time in Dallas over the past 11 games by more than tonight's spread. Statistically, Minnesota ranks higher in FG% #9 vs #15, and defensive FG%, #8 vs #21. Minnesota also won't be coughing up many points from the charity stripe, as they are hitting at a league leading 80.1%. We expect this to be like most played here between these two teams, and we like the generous points.
