This night be the game of the year in terms of lack of interest. If you combined these teams wins on the season, they would still likely fall short of the playoffs. They not only have poor records in common, but they share something else - both have lost their last four games by 10 points or more, so this is a real ugly matchup. Minnesota now has at least five players on the injury list, so a bad team has become even worse. As a result, the move here should be on Orlando, as the T-Wolves' roster looks closer to a "D" League team than an NBA franchise. As it is Minnesota is just 2-12 ATS at home vs. a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400, and the Magic are 6-1 ATS here in their last seven trips. Lay the points on Orlando.
