Minnesota at Washington

Minnesota has a new coach and the team was inspired to take Chicago into overtime before losing 133-126 on Wednesday. The Timberwolves couldn't quite overcome the Bulls' 59.1-percent shooting percentage. Malik Beasley led the Timberwolves with 25 points and Karl-Anthony Towns added 24 against the Bulls. Washington is back home after a tough four-game trip through the West, which ended with a 112-110 victory at Denver. Minnesota looks to avenge a 130-109 loss to the Wizards on New Year's Day and the Timberwolves are 8-2-1 ATS their last 11 games versus teams with losing records. Washington has covered just two of its last seven as a favorite. The scheduling situation favors Minnesota and play the Timberwolves.
