Minnesota at Washington

This is a great situational spot for the road team. Minnesota is off to a strong start with a winning road record while working on two days of rest for this one. The Timberwolves are on a 6-2-1 spread run, including 5-1 ATS on the road. The offense is top 10 in the NBA in scoring behind Andrew Wiggins (20.3 points per game), playmaker Jeff Teague (17.5 ppg) and Robert Covington (10.3 ppg). They face a Washington squad that is sixth-worst in the league defensively, allowing 119 points per contest and seventh-worst allowing 46.8% shooting by opponents. The struggling Wizards are coming off a wild 159-158 loss to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday while allowing 53.4% shooting and 42.6% beyond the arc giving up 23 treys. And Washington is 8-20 ATS when playing on two days of rest. Play Minnesota.
