We sensed the T-Wolves catching fire and have been riding them through their 4 game cover streak. We are not about to get off yet. This has been a series dominated by the visitor, as they have covered 8 of last 9. Minnesota has been playing hard, and came back from 17 down in the 4th quarter, but fell short. They did not have a player go over 33 minutes, and the short travel to Houston, they should be fine. Houston simply does not cover big point-spreads at home. They play lots of low scoring games, and a bundle of points is huge in these kind of games. A trip to Phoenix on deck for the Rockets may have their attention and energy on hold for this one. The Wolves have been playing 9 deep, so don't expect them to fade late. This game fits into a nice little system that has been gold over the years as well, so we will play the hot hand and go howling with the Wolves.

2 units on Minnesota +8.5 (-110) (risk 2 to return 3.82)
