Minnesota's favorited by 3.0 points at the moment. The Cavaliers when healthy have proven to be the better team, but Darius Garland is expected to miss tonight's game with a back injury. That should be enough to help the Wolves win, assuming they don't collectively slump offensively.

I'm hoping for some solid performances from the starting five. They've lost a bit of their magic over the last handful games going from one of the best five-man units in basketball to slightly getting outscored while they've been on the court. Minnesota can't afford to let that continue to happen. Tonight would be a great time to turn it around.

It looks like Rondo and LeVert are out also.

The injury gods once again smile upon us!

We can easily win or lose tonight. I am a bit surprised we are favored.

Cool, their top 3 PGs are out tonight, so they'll be starting something called Brandon Goodwin at the point. This is one we have to win.

I see. Well I'm going to lay the 3 points then.

Maybe go light, Cool...despite the Cavs missing all their playable PGs, they're still a very good home team and really tough to score on with the two mobile big guys. I like them a lot. It's a nice break for the Wolves to miss Garland and Levert, but it's a shame we don't get to see Garland.

Where does Cleveland get their scoring from tonight? Obviously, someone on their squad could get hot and we'd have a slugfest on our hands, but I struggle to see where they're going to get their points from. Minnesota should win this game being the healthier team.

Anyone take Ant on the over tonight. Be shocked if he didnt get 20.

Personally, I wouldn't touch him on a prop bet until he shows that he's back on track.
