Damian Lillard is back and Portland has covered three in a row although the Trail Blazers suffered a heartbreaking loss to Denver on Thursday when Jamal Murray hit a 3-pointer with 0.9 seconds left in a game that had 20 lead changes. Lillard poured in 40 points and had 12 assists for the Blazers, who shot 48.4 percent. Minnesota is playing a back-to-back and its third game in four nights after defeating Utah 118-108 on Friday night. The Timberwolves shot 53.1 percent and figure to cool off considerably playing consecutive road games in two nights. Portland is shooting 38.4 percent from beyond the arc and the Timberwolves allow a .374 percentage from distance. Minnesota is 6-14 ATS its past 20 games following a win and 7-22-2 its past 31 games at Portland, but go with the Trail Blazers on the money line.
