Portland at Minnesota

Portland is 42-33-1 ATS, and it has won and covered four of the last five meetings with Minnesota, which has lost seven of its last nine games and will finish last in the Northwest Division. The Timberwolves are playing their third game in four days, and that includes an exhausting overtime win over Golden State. Portland also is playing a three-in-four situation, but the Trail Blazers have won six of their last seven, although they do come off a 99-90 loss at Detroit on Saturday when they shot only 37.2 percent from the field. The Blazers figure to do a lot better tonight as they average a .465 field goal percentage on the season compared to .455 for the Timberwolves. Portland is 38-13-1 ATS the last 52 meetings, and the Blazers are 10-3 ATS their last 13 road games and 19-7 ATS their last 26 with one day of rest. Take the Trail Blazers.
