Pistons at Timberwolves picks and predictions

Prediction

Timberwolves 119, Pistons 101

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the T-wolves (-1400), who are 7-3 in their last 10, to beat the Pistons (+800), who are 2-8 in their last 10.

Against the spread

BET TIMBERWOLVES -14.5 (-115).

Detroit is just 4-6 ATS in its last 10 games including 1-4 ATS in its last 5, all as a double-digit underdog. It has also failed to cover the spread as a double-digit underdog in 3 of its last 4 road games.

Minnesota is on a 6-0 ATS streak and is 3-0 ATS in its last 3 games at home. Against a Pistons team that is ailing from injuries, expect a dominating performance from the Timberwolves on Wednesday.

Over/Under

BET OVER 216.5 (-110).

The Pistons have scored 99 or more in each of their last 4 games and in 8 of their last 10. The Timberwolves have scored 114 or more in 4 of their last 6. Minnesota will be faced with carrying a majority of the load, but it is more than capable of doing so.
