There are a lot of injuries that are questionable for this game on both sides, but some of those players should play in this game for Washington to help with the offense. These two teams already played, with Minnesota winning by 11 points this season. Washington has played well down the stretch recently in their last seven games, keeping games closer and not getting blown out, and coming away with a win against Milwaukee. The Wizards are getting up and down the court in transition better and getting a lot of fast break points. They have improved somewhat in their shooting skills as well. Washington is 50.19% in field goal percentage in their last three games, while the Timberwolves are 44.09% from the field in their last three. As road underdogs, the Wizards are 21-16 against the spread. In this series, the Wizards have won seven of their last ten games against Minnesota and covered in eight of those games. When Washington is on the road playing Minnesota, they have covered their last six road games against this team. Expect Minnesota to establish the pace, but expect a spirited effort by the Wizards to keep this game more competitive and cover the spread.

Best bet: take Washington and the points.
