Minnesota has plenty of offense, losing by 7 at Cleveland and by 3 to Oklahoma City. Minnesota battled Oklahoma City down the wire before falling 126-123 on Wednesday and was within one point at halftime in Utah on Friday. The Timberwolves are 10-4 ATS on the road against a team with a winning home record. Zach LaVine is averaging 25 points on 31-of-44 shooting in the last three contests, and Timberwolves rookie center Karl-Anthony Towns scored 32 points on 13-of-17 shooting Friday. They will do well against a Portland defense that is soft at #17 in points allowed and #23 in field goal shooting defense. And the Blazers are 3-7 ATS playing on one day of rest. Play Minnesota.
