Minnesota will be in a foul mood after losing to Phoenix 108-106 as a 12-point favorite on Saturday while shooting only 42.1 percent and making only nine of 27 from 3-point distance. Karl-Anthony Towns scored a team-leading 28 points and grabbed 11 rebounds while Taj Gibson added 18 points and 10 boards for the Timberwolves. Portland has won three straight, but it is playing its fifth road game in a row and third in four days. The Trailblazers defeated Charlotte 93-91 as the Hornets shot a miserable 34.4 percent and were just seven of 31 from 3-point range. Minnesota is averaging 107.6 points per game while shooting 47.0 percent from the field, and it has covered the spread its last four games against Northwest Division teams. Minnesota will bounce back in this matchup. Take the Timberwolves.
