The over is 9-3 in Timberwolves last 12 games playing on 0 days rest. The under is 19-9-2 in Trail Blazers last 30 home games. The Timberwolves are 7-22-2 ATS in the last 31 meetings in Portland and 19-41-2 ATS in the last 62 meetings.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are in a letdown spot after beating the Jazz last night for Gobert, and they're an undermanned team overall without their best player and now on the end of a back to back. The Portland Trail Blazers have the rest advantage, and they're at home, where they play their best ball and shoot over 47 percent from the field. We're not being asked to lay anything crazy. I'll side with the Trail Blazers and the reasonable chalk.
