Milwaukee has won the last five meetings with the Timberwolves and the Bucks come off a 119-94 blowout win at Detroit while shooting 57.1 percent.  Jabari Parker led the Bucks with 31 points and nine rebounds and Giannis Antetokounmpo added 23 points. Minnesota is 10-22 on the season and just 5-11 at home. The Timberwolves have lost three of their last four games, including 105-103 at Denver on Wednesday. Their defense let them down again as the Nuggets shot 51.9 percent from the floor and the Timberwolves are #27 in the league in opponents field goal percentage allowing 46.9 percent shooting. Meanwhile, Milwaukee is fourth defensively, holding opponents to just 43.5 percent, and #10 giving up 102.4 points per game. Tom Thibodeau is known for coaching good defense, but he hasn't been able to make his mark on the Timberwolves yet. The last six meetings have gone UNDER and the Bucks have gone UNDER five of their last six games after a win of 10-plus points. Play the Bucks on the moneyline and take the UNDER.
