Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
Washington is 4-0 against the spread despite having just a 1-3 record. It is a product of how the Wizards have been playing close games every time out.
MINNESOTA (+2.5, -115) is our pick. The Timberwolves average nearly 115 points and are capable of putting up more. They should be able to lose by two or fewer points or win outright.
Over/Under (O/U)
The projected total is set at 222.5. It is not that high a number considering the team point potentials. Washington and Minnesota could easily both top 115 points on the night. It will seem dicey, but the -115 for the OVER is a helpful number.
