Result:
WIN

The Minnesota Timberwolves made their first playoff appearance in more than a decade, and missed an opportunity to steal one. The Timberwolves saw the Houston Rockets mis-firing all game, converting just 10-37 from deep. That is about 15 points worth of three-point variance. The fact is that James Harden did his thing, but the rest of the Rockets were an ugly 3-25 from deep. A perspective on this shows that the Rockets have shot worse than that in just five games all season. On the season, the Rockets are 9-1 SU and 7-3 ATS after shooting 29% or worse from beyond the arc. Expect to see that variance get corrected tonight and in fact go the other way, leading to a huge win by Houston in Game 2. give the points and take Houston.
