LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers will look to avoid the upset at the hands of Andrew Wiggins and the upstart Minnesota Timberwolves when they hit the road to take on their desperate Western Conference counterparts.
Now, let’s find out which team is offering the most NBA betting lines value in this pairing.
The Cavs have won five straight over Minnesota dating back to 2014 and they’ll get the win in this contest, even though I suspect Minnesota is going to put up a helluva’ fight to cover the spread in a thriller. The Cavaliers are 5-1 ATS in their last six games, but LeBron and company are also just 2-5 ATS in their last seven Tuesday night games and a shocking 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400.
Conversely, while the Timberwolves have gone 0-7 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up win, Andrew Wiggins and company are also 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600.
While the Cavaliers have gone 8-3 ATS in the last 11 road games against Minnesota, I’m going to urge you to back the T-Wolves to cover in a thriller.
