This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the UNDER Blazers/Wolves.

As primarily a situational handicapper, these are exactly the types of games that I am constantly keeping my eyes open for.

These two teams come in off a very high-scoring affair here just two nights ago and I believe that fatigue will be a major factor tonight.

Minnesota pulled away for the 135-121 victory. Portland's lost four straight, while Minnesota has won four in a row.

Polar opposites heading into this game. Portland is one of the worst offensive teams in the league, while Minnesota is one of the best.

However note that Portland has seen the total go UNDER in eight of its last 11 in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent in which it allowed 130 or more points in, while Minnesota has seen the total dip UNDER in six of its last eight after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row.

This O/U line is now inflated a few points larger that it normally should be. The play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
