The Timberwolves have lost five straight and it all starts with Karl-Anthony Towns being out, but they saw some life in their last game against the Nuggets when they lost but got the cover. The Blazers have lost their last two to teams they should have beat. But the constant for both teams is bad defense. The Blazers allow 118 ppg off 47.7 percent shooting and Minnesota allows 120 ppg and 50 percent shooting. This is the highest total of the season for Minnesota, but it still gets Over the total.
