This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the OVER Wolves/Spurs.

I'm expecting very little defense to played in this one. Minnesota averages 114.6 PPG, which is second in the NBA.

It's gone 8-2 ATS in its last ten and it's seen the total go UNDER In four straight. Note though that it's seen the total go OVER in five of its last seven after playing to three or more straight UNDERs in a row.

The Spurs play with revenge after their 115-90 loss to Minnesota in early November, but note that they've seen the total go OVER in six of their last eight in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent in which they were held to 95 or fewer points in.

The Spurs have been trading wins and losses over their last four games, and off a 119-108 loss to the Pacers (one night after Popovich set the all time record for victories as a head coach in the NBA), I expect this trend to continue with a better effor here (the Spurs can score, they average 112.5 PPG, ranked 8th overall.)

With each side pushing the pace, everything points to the OVER as teh correct call.

Good luck, NP
