Minnesota at Los Angeles

Looking back at the database archives, I see just one incidence where a 0-4 team has been posted as more than a seven point favorite, and that team lost the game outright. I'm not sure where this line is coming from as the Clippers have not been this big of a chalk in any of the last two seasons and at 0-4, there certainly isn't justification for them to be posted this high now either. The T-Wolves certainly aren't great, but they own a win and hung to within eight points at Phoenix, so certainly they have the potential to hang inside this number against the Clippers. The T-Wolves are never given respect on the road, and the result has been a 21-7-1 ATS mark in their last 29 road games. The Clippers are not designed for chalk at home and even against lesser numbers to topple, have accumulated a 5-16 ATS mark as home chalk. I'm riding with the T-Wolves.
