What to Know

The Portland Trail Blazers will play host again and welcome the Minnesota Timberwolves to Moda Center at the Rose Quarter, where tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET Monday. Portland will be strutting in after a victory while Minnesota will be stumbling in from a defeat.

The Trail Blazers are hoping for another win. They managed a 124-118 win over Minnesota this past Saturday. It was another big night for Portland’s point guard Damian Lillard, who had 36 points and eight assists.

Portland is the favorite in this one, with an expected 4.5-point margin of victory. They are currently four-for-four against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

Minnesota’s loss took them down to 13-13 while Portland’s win pulled them up to 14-12. Allowing an average of 116.08 points per game, the Timberwolves haven’t exactly asserted themselves on the defensive end. We’ll see if they can patch up the holes in their defense before their upcoming contest.
