NBA - 711 Minnesota Timberwolves @ 712 Dallas Mavericks
Projected Line: Dallas by 4 points
Both teams are coming from losses, as Dallas lost in overtime at Charlotte, while Minnesota lost at Chicago. The Timberwolves are shorthanded for tonight, as they have been playing without Kevin Love, Ricky Rubio, J.J. Barea and now Chase Budinger as well and perhaps also Brandon Roy. But as this isn't a back to back spot, I believe the Timberwolves will be okay for tonight, especially as these absences give more playing time to Alexey Shved, who is the team's best SG.
Dallas will have some edge on the guards, but Minnesota will have a clear edge in here down low and on rebounding with Nikola Pekovic and Andrei Kirilenko. I don't believe the Mavericks have a better team than Minnesota right now, as they are both shorthanded right now and if coach Rick Carlisle think that his team can win games against decent teams while grabbing just 45% of the rebounds and committing almost 20 turnovers per game, good luck with that. The Timberwolves have an interesting team and Dallas is far from being impressive on this early season, therefore I expect Minnesota to be very competitive tonight and so, I'll be taking them in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 711 Minnesota Timberwolves (+7) @ -110 / 1.91 on Bookmaker
