These teams meet for the first time this season with Washington riding a three-game winning streak after beating Philadelphia 116-108 on Monday. John Wall exploded for 37 points and Marcin Gortat added 18 points and grabbed 20 rebounds. This followed a 113-99 win over Cleveland in a game in which LeBron James sat out. Minnesota has lost four of its last six games, including 128-101 at Dallas on Sunday in the finale of a three-game road trip. The Timberwolves shot just 37.8 percent while the Mavericks had a .528 field goal percentage. The Timberwolves' defense has been a sore spot all season as they allow a .467 field goal percentage. The Wizards have covered four of their last five against losing teams and the Timberwolves are 2-7 ATS after allowing 125-plus points their previous game. Play the Wizards.
