Minnesota at Toronto

The perception is that these NBA teams are all about running the court and playing no defense, but the UNDER is 5-0 in the last five meetings.  Minnesota  is without offensive star Kevin Love and is slowing the pace down, allowing 80 ppp and 36% shooting. The UNDER is 46-20-2 in the Timberwolves last 68 games against a team with a winning percentage below 40% and 6-0 UNDER the total versus the Eastern Conference. Toronto is already at the bottom of the Atlantic division with an offense averaging 94 ppg while shooting 40% from the field (25th in the NBA). The UNDER is 7-1 in the Raptors last eight home games and the team is 10-2 UNDER the total after a spread loss. And when these teams meet, the UNDER is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Toronto. Look for far less offense and scoring than oddsmakers anticipate. Play the Timberwolves/Raptors UNDER the total.
