Minnesota has lost its last four road games and just ended a three-game losing streak last night against the Thunder in a one-game homestand. Now the Timberwolves are on the road again against a Pistons squad that's playing very well, winning nine of its last 11. Detroit also has won and covered the past seven meetings against the Minnesota. The Pistons are the play.

The Pistons are fighting their way up the standings in the Eastern Conference while the Timberwolves’ chancing of making the playoffs are becoming slimmer by the day. The Timberwolves are just awful on the road, losing eight of their last nine games there by an average of 7.8 points. That included losses to the Hawks, Wizards and Grizzlies. With how well the Pistons are playing, look for them to win and cover.
