This game should get out of hand quickly. Yes, Minnesota's offense will struggle. But, Portland's should not. The T-Wolves are going to give up triple-digits here, and I think they will definitely get into the 80s themselves. Portland is off a 96-84 win over San Antonio and the Trailblazers are 15-4 OVER since last season following a game in which they allowed 85 or fewer points. Under Nate McMillan, this team is 35-17 OVER in that situation. Minnesota scored 72 last game and that contributes to an overreaction with this line. It's just set too low given the body of work by both teams as Minnesota games are averaging 189 per game and Portland games 186. I like this one to go OVER the low total.
