New Orleans at Minnesota

Two teams out of the playoff race, which means very little defense will be played. But, New Orleans has plenty of offensive punch with guard Eric Gordon giving a big lift since returning to the lineup while reserve forward Ryan Anderson adds to that as a fine outside shooter. Throw in point guard Greivis Vasquez and rookie Anthony Davis, who has five double-doubles in his last nine games and 15 for the season, and there is more than enough offense against a Minnesota  team that has allowed 100 or more points in four of the last five games. The Timberwolves are 6-14-2 ATS in their last 22 games playing on one days rest. Minnesota's injury report is mounting with forward Andrei Kirilenko and center Nikola Pekovic doubtful as well as Kevin Love out, who are the team's top three scorers. The Timberwolves have lost two straight as well as ten of 12. They are also 7-20 ATS against the Western Conference. Play New Orleans.
