DelPotro : Minnesota at Portland
NBA - - Posted on November, 8 at 6:09 am
Timberwolwes just cant play defence and even coach Wittman shuffled his starting five last night in Sacramento, nothing happened. They lost easily and let opponent scoremore than 120 points. Minnesota is 1 - 4 this season, they will suffer, no doubt about it. Only win was home opener vs Kings and even some defeats were narrow and undeserved like vs Spurs, we believe there will be no big improvement for this team.
Portland is rock solid at home, they opened with awful performance in LA and lost Oden, but in Oregon this team can be real threat. They beat San Antonio and Houston at Rose Garden and will be of course favourite here. It is their last game at home ahead of tough road games and Trailblazers will press hard to win it. They had upper hand in clashes vs Minnesota lately beating them for four straight games.
However we are not sure Portland will cover -9 handicap. Simply, they played very hard game vs Houston and Minnesota didnt lose with bigger margins, beside of course last night vs Kings. They will try to stay close and come to tight end when Portland usually become nervous.
We will go for points, both teams can score over 100, simply, Minnesota defensive effort cant be enough and also Portland scored around 100 points per game, they just had problem in offence at opening night. Line is 191.5 and it is worth medium stake.
