NBA Free Premium Play 02/11: New York Knicks @ Minnesota Timberwolves


  
New York  at Minnesota 
NBA - 507 New York Knicks @ 508 Minnesota Timberwolves


Projected line: Minnesota by 10 points



Lin may be the new sensation in the league and the Knicks may be on a great run, but their spot tonight is just terrible! D'Antoni has been using a short rotation as usual and yesterday, the Knicks used just 8 players and they will now have to travel to Minnesota, where the Wolves are looking for a bounce back, after losing against Dallas last night, so this won't be an easy game for the Knicks at all. Yesterday against the Lakers, 26% of the Knicks plays were P&R ball handler plays and Lin was great on them, but note that he has played 36-45-36-39 minutes on the team's last 4 games! So, a subpar game from him is prone to happen tonight due to fatigue and Rubio should be able to take advantage of that. Without Lin being amazing, the Knicks lose the huge majority of their scoring punch, as they are still without Amare and Melo. On the other side, who will defend Love tonight? Jeffries? This won't bode well for the Knicks at all. Therefore, I expect an easy win for the Wolves tonight due to a much better spot and a better bench as well. I'm taking Minnesota in here.


Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 508 Minnesota Timberwolves (-6,5) @ -110 / 1.91 on Bookmaker
