10* MASSACRE on Portland Trailblazers.

The Blazers come in tonight's home game versus Minnesota as winners of six of their last seven, and the only loss during that span came on the road at Golden State. Portland is still concerned about seeding in the West, so we should see a strong effort from the Blazers tonight. My money is on the home favorite.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Blazers have had plenty of success in this series, winning eight of the last 10 meetings, and covering the spread in seven of those eight wins. They have been dominant at home, going 6-1-1 ATS in the last eight home meetings versus Minnesota.


2. Andrew Wiggins - The 21 year old scored 32 points in the Wolves shocking upset win over Golden State, but he's really struggled against Portland. He's averaged just 16 points, shooting 28 percent from the field in three games against the Blazers this season.

3. X-Factor - The Trail Blazers are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games playing on two days rest.

Selection: This is a play on the Portland Blazers (10*)
