[h=2]Minnesota Timberwolves vs Charlotte Hornets
Monday March 7 2016 - 7:00 PM EST
Pick 1 of 3 - Today's NBA Picks[/h]Current spread: Charlotte Hornets -9.5
The Timberwolves and Hornets will play each other for the second and final time this season. The first meeting took place in Minnesota where the Hornets took the game on the road 104-95. Wiggins and Rubio were both out in the first game and Towns was fairly new in the NBA (considering it was a November game). Since then, Towns has made a name for himself and will likely become rookie of the year. This time around the Wolves will have both Wiggins and Rubio as they look to even the season series.
Trends: The Timberwolves won their last game against the spread (ATS) and this season after the Wolves have won just one game, the team is 10-4 ATS in their next game. The Timberwolves are 7-4 ATS when their underdogs by more than 9 points; however, the 4 games they lost were against Cleveland, Oklahoma City, San Antonio and the Warriors. These teams are in a different class compared to Charlotte. The Hornets are 3-0 ATS when they are favourites by more than 9.5. Those 3 games were between two teams; the Suns, and the 76ers, both of these teams have been crushed several times by other NBA teams.
The spread is way too high for this Hornets team. They Hornets are 8-2 in their last 10 games and two games in the last week were against the Suns and 76ers; teams they beat by more than 10 points. The spread is too high and it has emphasized the Hornets recent blow outs against the Suns and 76ers a little too much. Recently, the Wolves beat the Clippers on the road by 6, a game they were 10.5 point underdogs, so don’t even be surprised if this Wolves team has it in them to win straight up. This team is less than a season away from being playoff contenders and you should see them playing good basketball going forward.
