Save for a cold spell during the last half of the third quarter on Friday vs. the Bucks, the T-wolves might have gotten a better result against Milwaukee instead of a 112-107 loss. Still, Minnesota rallied admirably in the 4th Q, and have won and covered their last four off of SU losses. Meanwhile the Nets looked just as lost for interim HC Kevin Ollie as they did the preceding month for the now-dismissed Jacque Vaughn when getting pummeled by the Raptors on Thursday, and have only six spread Ws their last 26 games (though one did come in a close loss to the Wolves at Barclays Center on January 25). Play T-wolves

Edwards looked rusty scoring the ball Friday vs the Bucks, as did may of his teammates after the AS break. He shot just 37% from the field (he averages 49% at home) and was off from the line ... and still scored 28 points. We can debate if the Wolves are ready for teams like MIL when it matters, but everyone beats up on the Nets, especially when they are on the road. They are 25th in D rating away from home, and are catching a balanced offensive foe at the wrong time. Shooting guards can go off vs BRK at any time and I expect Edwards to pad his box score here, start scoring early and go over 30 even in a blowout.

Yeah the T-Wolves are playing back to back and the Nets are not, but MIN is at home and fresh off AS break. Wolves have covered 4 in a row and 7 of 10. Five of last 6 home wins by 11+ points. Nets are 0-5-1 last 6 ATS as a dog, all by 8+ points. Vegas has been way off. Those spreads avg +5.3 points, and the defeats have been by: 28, 50, 8, 23, 12, 11. Nets have lost 9 of 10 on road; 7 of those losses by 11+ points and average margin of defeat of 17, mean margin of defeat of 15. Wolve pushing for one seed in West, should build hefty lead.
