While a lot of teams are resting players and getting ready for the playoffs, that is not the case for the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Memphis Grizzlies. They are two of five Western Conference teams separated by one game in the loss column. These two teams are essentially in playoff game settings already due to the tightness in the Western Conference standings. That sets the stage for a playoff-type atmosphere, which can lead to a more defensive game. Minnesota has played three straight games UNDER the total, and none of those three saw more than 223 total points scored. Memphis has also played UNDER three straight times, and none of those saw more than 224 total points scored. I expect more of the same tonight. Bet this game to stay UNDER the total.

Minnesota has a winning road record, one of only five teams in the Western Conference with a winning road mark. The Timberwolves have won their last four road contests, including a 116-99 blowout in their previous road game at New York as an underdog. The offense is third in the NBA in 3-point shooting (38.4%), the defense is fifth in points given up and in field goal shooting allowed, plus sixth at defending beyond the arc. Memphis is 23rd from the free-throw line (76.9%). The Grizzlies are in a challenging situational spot coming home from a four-game road trip. They've also played 14 of their last 20 on the road. Play Minnesota.
