Trail Blazers at Timberwolves: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Trail Blazers 125, Timberwolves 115
Money line (ML)
Minnesota is playing better since the All-Star break but, the fact of the matter is they have lost 10 of their last 11 games and 14 of their last 16. Portland, meanwhile, has won four of its last five.
The Timberwolves have not won on their home court since January. That isn’t something to bet on now. It will happen at some point, but I wouldn’t put money on it.
Take the TRAIL BLAZERS (-200).

Against the spread (ATS)
The Wolves are 2-0 ATS since the All-Star break. Despite losing by only four to Portland on Saturday, I don’t expect them to be able to replicate that performance two nights in a row.
They still have the sixth-worst cover percentage in the league (43.2%) and Portland is 19-18 ATS and 12-7 ATS on the road.
Take the TRAIL BLAZERS -5 (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
The two teams combined for 246 points on Saturday. Six of the last seven for Minnesota have gone Over. Portland’s Over percentage this season is 56.8%. The numbers tell you to go that way.
Take OVER 234.5 POINTS (-110).
