This would be a battle between two struggling teams. Denver are nasty with a single win in their last 8 games, 6 straight losses. Bucks are not much better frankly speaking, 2 wins out of their last 8. Their performance has been a bit better in the last games though, especially yesterday against Charlotte. Only the weak long distance shooting percentage prevented them from keeping the game much closer, and it was still a match in the last 2 minutes.
The reason behind the improved performance was Jason Kidd decision to shake up the starting line-up a bit. He replaced Jabari Parker and Michael Carter-Williams with Mayo and Bayless respectively. This move boosted the defense which was vital for Bucks. No doubt that MCW and Parker are better players than their back-ups and will return to the starting line-up sooner rather than later but at least for now they should provide good ball distribution and attacking options in the second unit minutes.
Denver will likely have Kenneth Faried back tonight but I doubt he can do something to turn their season around. They just lack enough talent. Gallinari is a good sharp-shooter but too inconsistent in the other parts of the game. Nuggets management is just waiting a few seasons for rookie PG Mudiay to grow up so they can start the rebuilding process around him.
Teams exchanged home wins last season. Denver already recorded a win against Bucks on their home floor earlier this month but it was very close one, 103-102. Milwaukee’s turn now and I strongly favor the chance of history repeating this season.

Si c'est pas du foutage de gueule sa 38-36 et 74 points dans le dernier quart temps et pile 206 points inscrit et flingue mon under qui aurait dû passer 50 fois
willysaddy
je tente meme une piece sur les Wolves avec un tres bon bilan a l'exterieur et une tres bonne forme , surtout quand je vois que les Clippers ont perdu 4 de leurs 10 matchs a la maison sa serait dommage de pas tenter
au pire assurer avec le Minnesota H+9 @1.73

les Los Angeles Clippers recoivent les Minnesota Timberwolves et c'est deux equipes qui se ressemble cette saison avec un bilan similaire de 8 victoires et 8 défaites mais avantage aux visiteurs pour la forme avec 3 victoires de suite alors que les Clippers ont perdu 3 de leurs 5 derniers matchs , pour ce match je vais partir sur un under 205.5 points car depuis plusieur matchs les Clippers ont amelioré leur defense avec une moyenne de 94 points encaisser sur leur 5 derniers matchs a la maison pour 95 encaisser et face aux Wolves qui encaisse en moyenne 97 points a l'exterieur ont pourrait assister a un match avec peut de points comme lors du precedent affrontement qui c'etait fini sur un score de 89/76 et je pense pas voir plus de 206 points ce soir
Moins de 205.5 points @1.82

Confrontation entre les Washington Wizards et les Toronto Raptors , et sa sera un Back to back pour les Wizards apres leur match jouer chez les Celtics la nuit derniere et perdu bien comme il le faut sur le score de 111-78 se qui leur fait 3 défaites de suite alors avant d'affronter les Raptors qui eux restent sur 3 succes de suite les choses ne s'engagent pas a leur avantage , surtout que les Raptors restent sur des succes contre les Clippers et les Cavaliers plus de la fraicheur a revendre et malgré que sa soit les Wizards qui recoivent je vois quand meme les Raptors s'imposer cette nuit car a domicile les Wizards sont a 3-3 donc pas franchement souveraint alors que les Raptors ont quand meme gagner 6 de leurs 11 déplacements

Mon chouchou qui échoue à une interception du 5-by-5 contre Denver. Il est tellement énorme ! L'an passé déjà il lui avait manqué une passe décisive pour réussir cet exploit. Je pense qu'il sera le prochain à le réussir dans la ligue.
The oddsmakers continue to give a bit higher line for the total in this match-up and I will continue backing it. My Pacers are real hot right now and maybe this is the reason for this line but…. It’s one thing to play against weak defensive teams like Wizards and Bucks (right now Bucks are terrible in defense, not in principle), and completely different story to play against stifling defense like Bulls’ one. Indiana are red-hot from beyond the arc but Chicago guards should be able to limit Pacers a bit in this area or at least slow down Pacers offensive rhythm.
Bulls conclude their road trip tonight and tiredness would be a factor too. They did well, 2-1 in this trip with the expected loss against GSW. They struggle to create easy scoring opportunities though, even with Derrick Rose on the floor. It was totally evident against Portland, they led comfortably with 10+ points at some stage in the beginning of the 4th Q and then started choking quite badly. Shot clock violations, slow tempo attacks, desperate shots, etc. I rate Pacers better than Portland in every aspect of course so can’t really see Bulls solving this problem area tonight.
All in all, this should be slow tempo game, at least Bulls will try to play slowly so I think UNDER is the best option.

NBA Minnesota Timberwolves - Atlanta Hawks
Recommendation: OVER 205
Odds: 1.909
Bookmaker: Pinnaclesports / Sportmarket
Minnesota surprised Atlanta earlier this month, winning 117-107 on the road. It’s the third straight time and 4 out of last 5 when these teams entertain the public with high scoring games. I fully expect tonight’s game to follow suit and this total line seem a bit low by a couple of points.
Reigning Rookie of the Year Andrew Wiggins played well in the first game in the series and is very hot lately. He is a superstar in the making and nothing could possibly prevent him, health issues aside, from fulfilling his potential in a few seasons. Ricky Rubio is also doing tremendous job in distributing the ball and adding assists to his tally, facilitating Wolves’ offensive rhythm. Last but not least, rookie center Towns is also making headlines with his contributions on both sides of the floor.
Atlanta weakness is the rebounding as always, so Minny could rely on a few second chance points on the shoulders of Towns and Garnett. Hawks strength at the other hand lies in smooth ball movement, leading to many uncontested / easy shots and they are usually very effective at converting these.
Here’s hoping that both teams play their usual game then, it should be enough.
