Analysis
NBA Picks #1: 505 Minnesota Timberwolves @ 506 Houston Rockets
Rating: 4 units - Regular Play
Pick: Minnesota Timberwolves (+5) (Play up to +4)
Odds: -107 / 1.93 on Pinnacle Sports OR -110 / 1.91 on 5Dimes

Houston will have lots of changes for today's game and with that, I expect Minnesota to be extremely competitive tonight. The Wolves are coming from a bad loss at Orlando, where they clearly relaxed against a lowly team after a homespan, where they destroyed good teams such as New Orleans, Cleveland, Oklahoma City and Portland. Minnesota has been playing very well and in a way where they are rarely out of any game, as they have elite low turnover and high offensive rebounding numbers, while also going to the free throw line a lot.

Defensively, Minnesota has stopped being awful and their improvement has been especially on transition defense, with just 8.2 fast break points allowed per game on their last 10 contests. Houston is a great team, but there'll be lots of changes that should ruin the team's flow a bit. Ariza is suspended, Mbah a Moute returns and I don't know if he'll be physically ready to handle Wiggins, while Harden will play but only 25 minutes. With Green out, Harden will eventually have to guard Butler, while Towns will explore his edge over Anderson. Therefore, I believe the Wolves will be super competitive and so, I'll be taking them plus the points tonight.
