Minnesota at Los Angeles

Minnesota is getting more points than it usually would due to Rudy Gobert's absence as he is suspended for this game, but the Timberwolves have won seven of 10 and they have won and covered their past three games while holding two opponents to under 110 points. The Timberwolves have gone UNDER six of their past eight games, including their 113-108 win over New Orleans on Saturday. Los Angeles has come on strong in the final weeks, but it has covered just one of its past four games and the Lakers are 1-6 ATS and 6-1 UNDER the past seven meetings with Minnesota. The Lakers have four players listed as probable, including Anthony Davis (foot) and LeBron James (foot), but they are expected to play. The Lakers have gone UNDER five of its past six against opponents with winning records and Minnesota has stayed UNDER four of its past five road games. The Timberwolves won and covered two of three meetings this season. I have three picks on this game: Take the Timberwolves ATS, and the first half and full game to stay UNDER.
