The Memphis Grizzlies have dealt with a lot of injury issues over the last 2 years to key players. They are finally healthy, and one byproduct of the injuries is added team depth. The T-Wolves looked to be one of the most improved teams in the league until they were inflicted with the injury bug, and unfortunately are simply not a deep enough team to overcome them. Minnesota is at 4-18 over their last 22 games and have fallen prey in each of their last 10 and have covered just 2 of their last 12. This is a team that has stopped playing both ends of the floor, and opponents have walked all over them with 6 of their last 9 foes putting up 110 or more points. Memphis is an opportunistic running team, and they will take advantage of the T-Wolves, just as so many other good teams have recently and run for easy buckets. These two teams have been strong UNDER teams this season (Memphis 21-10 UNDER on the road and Minnesota 18-11 UNDER at home. These things don't continue forever and usually there is a reversion to the mean. Oddsmakers adjust the lines to even things out. The T-Wolves defense has been atrocious of late, allowing 107.9 points per game over their last ten games. During that span they have allowed 110+ in six of the ten! Minnesota has posted  straight OVERs after a 10+ point loss and Memphis has covered six of the last seven vs/ the T-Wolves. Play on Memphis and the OVER.
