I don't think it's the worst idea to throw a few bucks down on Timberwolves ML as I do believe there's a decent chance they just win this game -- especially if the Cavs' Evan Mobley is out, and he's questionable. Feels like a bit of a tricky spot for Cleveland off laying an egg on Thursday in OKC in a very hyped national TV game.

The Cavs have only failed to cover in consecutive road games one time all season. I don't see that happening here after a humbling loss to OKC. Cavs have covered 6 of last 7 on road and 14-7 ATS with one day between games. Wolves are 4-14-1 ATS at home and this spot vs a pissed off Cavs teams with ridiculous balance and a spread under 6 is a challenge to buck that trend. Wolves remain a helter skelter bunch and don't resemble last year's model. Just 5-11 ATS in their last 16 overall. ANT trying to do too much too often. Cavs can frustrate them with their length.
