NBA Tuesday Free Pick- Houston Rockets at Minnesota Timberwolves

Minnesota Timberwolves

Rockets Face Timberwolves only 1/2 Game out of 1st



Two of the top four teams in the Western Conference clash this Tuesday night at the Target Center with the Houston Rockets going on the road to face the Minnesota Timberwolves. VietBet opened the Rockets as three-point favorites with the total set at 222.5. The line has help steady.

The Rockets have cut Golden State’s lead in the West to just half a game. Their current straight-up eight-game winning streak has proven pivotal. This includes a perfect 4-0 run (3-1 ATS) in a recent four-game road trip.

Houston is 4-2 ATS in its last six contests and the total has gone OVER the VietBets closing line in four of their last seven games. It is 20-7 SU on the road this season with a 16-11 record ATS.

James Harden remains the league’s leading scorer with 31.3 points per game. He put up 27 points in Sunday’s 104-97 win at home against Dallas. Chris Paul added 25 points to the winning cause. The Rockets have a roster that is seven-deep in double-digit scorers.

The Rockets are second in the NBA in scoring with an average. They pour in 114.1 PPG, but they fall to 14th when it comes to points allowed (105.6).

Timberwolves Hold onto 4th Place in West



The Timberwolves have gone a rocky 4-6 both SU and ATS in their last 10 games. At 35-24 SU, they are still holding on to fourth place in the standings. Minnesota failed to cover in Sunday’s 111-106 victory at home against Sacramento. They were listed as a heavy 13.5-point favorite with VietBet.

This victory extended the Timberwolves SU winning streak at home to 13 games, but they are just 1-4 ATS in their last five home games.

Jimmy Butler is averaging 22.5 PPG for the T-Wolves. He is followed closely by Karl-Anthony Towns at 20.1 points and Andrew Wiggins at 17.9 points per game. Minnesota is the sixth-highest scoring team in the NBA with 109.6 PPG average.

Towns led the way in Sunday’s win with 29 points.  Jeff Teague added 12 points and 10 assists in the winning effort. The Timberwolves fall to 17th in the league at the other end of the court. They are giving up 106.4 points per game.

These are not only two of the top teams in the West, they also matchup very closely across the board. Minnesota is on quite a roll at home lately. I am still going with Houston both SU and ATS as the overall hotter team.
