Minnesota is getting healthy and is a tough team to play at #4 in the NBA in points and #3 in rebounds. Kevin Love scored 42 and grabbed 16 rebounds in a 104-91 victory over Indiana on Wednesday. He became the first player since Shaquille O'Neal in 2005 to record at least 25 points and 10 boards over eight straight contests. Utah has a losing record at home and the Timberwolves are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Utah can't keep up with high flying offenses, off a 102-94 loss at Portland despite a 9-point lead at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The last time these teams met here was in January when Minnesota rolled 112-97 (leading 34-16 after one). The value here is with Minnesota to win the game,so take them on the moneyline.
