Chip's 'Guaranteed' NBA Megabucks Best Bet
(NBA) Minnesota vs. Portland,
Point Spread: 2.00 | -102.00 Minnesota (Away)
Result: Loss
Minnesota at Portland 10:00 ET
Timberwolves (+) over Trailblazers- Portland's quick start has all but been wiped out as they lost six of seven before trouncing the Suns 108-86 as a 12.5-point favorite at the Moda Center. Minnesota on the other hand after slow start and the trade of Jimmy Butler has changed their fortunes as they have won their last two and six of seven. These two have played twice already each holding serve on their home court with the Blazers winning by 30-points 111-81 as a 5.5-point favorite on Nov. 4. Tonight, they opened -1.5 and that is a huge difference. Consider this Minnesota is 6-19-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings in Portland and are 13-37-1 ATS in the last 51 meetings. Yet, tonight, they opened at 1.5-points. The Trailblazers have been in a funk and beating Phoenix at home is hardly anything that will fix these problems. This one 'stinks'...take TIMBERWOLVES!
