NBA | Rockets vs Wolves
Play on: Wolves +3 -110 at MyBookie
My 1* Free Play is on the Minnesota Timberwolves (8:05 EST).
I think the Rockets, who come into this one having won eight straight, have a predictable letdown here against a Minnesota team which will be leaving nothing to chance after it broke a two-game slide with a 111-106 win at home over the Kings. Houston most recently downed the Mavericks 104-97 at home on Sunday.
To say this is a “revenge” game would be a bit of an understatement as well I think as Houston has taken 11 of the last 12 in the series, including three straight (and that includes a 116-98 victory at home in the first meeting between the clubs this season back on January 18th.)
The Rockets come in averaging 114.1 PPG and they concede 105.6. James Harden leads the nightly charge with 31.3 points, five boards and 8.9 assists per night, while Chris Paul adds 19.4 points, 8.3 assists and 1.83 steals per game.
Minnesota averages 109.6 PPG and it concedes 106.4. Big man Karl-Anthony Towns averages 20.1 points and 12.1 boards per game, while Andrew Wiggins contributes 17.9 points and 4.2 boards per game.
Additionally I’ll point out that Houston has in fact struggled in this spot all year for bettors, going just 11-13 ATS after three or more consecutive victories and only 3-6 ATS following a divisional contest, while Minnesota is 5-2 ATS in its last seven trying to revenge a loss against an opponent.
The Wolves play with revenge and look to close the first half strong in front of the home town crowd. While I obviously wouldn’t be shocked by an outright upset, I’m going to recommend grabbing as many points as you can in this particular contest.
Consider Minnesota in this matchup.
Good luck…Larry

NCAA-B | Oklahoma vs Texas Tech
Play on: Texas Tech -7½ -106 at 5Dimes
I'm recommending a play on Texas Tech minus the points on Tuesday. Texas Tech is 21-4 and undefeated in 15 home games and the Red Raiders have won six games in a row, including a 66-47 rout of Kansas State on Saturday while holding the Wildcats to a .289 shooting percentage. Texas Tech is in revenge as one of its losses was at Oklahoma on Jan. 9 and the Sooners have gone downhill since losing six of their last eight games, including the last three. Oklahoma's star guard Trae Young is shooting only 38.1 percent his last three games and the Sooners made only 6 of 27 3-point attempts in their loss at Iowa State. Oklahoma is 8-15 ATS this season and 0-6 ATS its last six road contests. Also, the Sooners are 1-6 ATS their last seven games against teams with .600 or better winning percentages. The home team has covered the last seven meetings and we expect that trend to continue to grow. I'm recommending a play on Texas Tech minus the points. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
