Minnesota is showing defensive improvement, winning three in a row under first-year coach Tom Thibodeau, long a proponent of tough defense. They held high octane Oklahoma City to 86 points the last game in a win as a dog, allowing 38.8% shooting. Minnesota is #19 in the league in points scored, and is 8-2 UNDER the total following a victory. They face a Dallas team that is last in the NBA in points scored, #28 in field goal shooting. Dallas is 44-20-1 UNDER the total against a team with a winning percentage below .400. These teams met Monday in a game that went UNDER as Dallas scored 19 first quarter points, and Minnesota tallied 21 in the second. Play UNDER the total for the full game and the First Half UNDER.
