Minnesota at Cleveland

Cleveland has a new coach and is 3-3 the last six games, losing two of those games as favorites of -10.5 and -3.5. Here they are a huge favorite again against a young, uptempo Minnesota team. Minnesota likes to run with plenty of offensive playmakers, off a 106-101 win and cover over Memphis. Minnesota is getting strong play off the bench from Shabazz Muhammad, while former Cavaliers draft pick Andrew Wiggins is thriving along with point guard Ricky Rubio. Wiggins is shooting 52.6 percent from the floor over the last six games. The Timberwolves are 9-3 ATS away vs. a team with a winning home record. Tyronn Lue is the new Cleveland coach, 0-1 after a loss to Chicago, 96-83, as a double-digit favorite at home. Not a good start for the new coach! He wants Cleveland to operate at a faster pace and suggested the team was out of shape following Saturday's 96-83 setback. Cleveland moved faster than Chicago, but shot 37.2 percent from the field and went nine of 22 at the free-throw line, so this shift in strategy may take time to click, if it clicks at all. And the Cavaliers are 7-19-2 ATS against a team with a losing straight up record. Play Minnesota.
