This is just the second road game of the season for Minnesota. The first one sure went well for the Timberwolves. They upset the Bucks, 113-108, as six-point 'dogs.

I can see the Timberwolves upsetting Memphis, too.

The Timberwolves fire up a lot of shots, especially from 3-point range. They just aren't very accurate. Memphis, however, gives up the second-most points per game in the league. The Grizzlies also rank 29th in 3-point defense.

Minnesota is ninth in points allowed per 100 possessions. The Grizzlies, by comparison, rank 28th. The Timberwolves give up seven fewer points per game than the Grizzlies.

The Timberwolves still could be without D'Angelo Russell. Still, I'll take the better defensive team given this many points.
