The first post-All Star game venture takes us (Gambling Advisor blog) out to the Staples Center where the visiting Timberwolves have apparently been invited to a sleepover by their L.A. hosts.
Kevin Love and company may want to pack their sleeping bags during this betting trip as they won’t have to leave the building with the Lakers on tap the same time tomorrow.
And if our NBA Predictions database is correct, expect Rick Adelman’s men to have a few nightmares after this one is over.
That’s because the T-Wolves are just 4-15 ATS before lamenting with the Lakers, including 1-8 ATS on the road. And to complicate matters for Minnesota backers, the Wolves handed the Clippers one of their few losses at home (12-4 SU, 10-6 ATS) earlier this year.
Don’t expect the Clips to take kindly to that setback as they are 15-6 ATS with same-season revenge when Minny owns a win/ loss percentage of less than .590 on the season.
That number also tightens to a tidy 9-1 ATS when L.A. arrives playing better than .333 ball of its own.
With that being said, we’re not about to head west with the young T-Wolves. Lay it and play it.
