Minnesota at Milwaukee

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been a tease. They have been projected into the playoffs the last few years, but never seem to be able to turn the corner. They have won five straight games, but is it real? The competition in those five games was minimal, and most disturbing is the lack of any defensive effort. Minnesota is allowing just shy of 107 points per game on the season. The Bucks are also an up-and-coming NBA team and have been at their best in the role of a home favorite, where they are 10-4 on the season and 6-2 SU when favored by five or fewer points. The lack of defense in a close game vs. a competent home team will keep Minnesota out of the win column tonight. Play Milwaukee on the moneyline.
