Portland at Minnesota

Portland's season can be broken down into three parts. They began the season at 5-12, going 0-9 on the road. They then caught fire and played to a 23-8 mark and went 8-5 on the road. Since then they are the team that they were at the beginning of the season going 5-11 and just 3-7 on the road. Portland is one again the team they were at the beginning of the season and that version of the Blazers is 10-23 and 3-16 on the road. That isn't the type of team that is favored on the road. The T-Wolves had won just two games on the road all year and have now have won two straight road games and will be a confident group tonight. The T-Wolves are an improved team having gone 15-9 ATS over their last 24, after opening 13-24 ATS. They have also gone 5-1 ATS as a small home favorite or a small dog of four or less. They are competing at a much higher level. We will ride them at home tonight.
