Top Rated 10* NBA West *GAME OF THE YEAR*
(NBA) Minnesota vs. Portland,
Point Spread: -5.50 | -110.00 Portland (Home)
Result: Win
Play: Portland Trail Blazers
Rating: 10/10*

The Minnesota Timberwolves are eliminated from playoff contention while the Portland Trail Blazers are battling with Denver for the eighth seed in the West. The Blazers had won six straight prior to back-to-back losses at Minnesota and Utah, and I like them to put a huge beating on the Wolves tonight.

Note that the Timberwolves are just 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall. They lost 121-107 at Golden State on Tuesday and are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points.

The Blazers meanwhile are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games overall and 7-2-1 in the last 10 when hosting the Wolves. Huge motivational advantage Portland with the revenge factor and their playoff dreams. I'm well happy to lay the points as I think we'll see a double-digit victory for the home side.
