4* Nets/Timberwolves NBA Over/Under ATS Annihilator: OVER 187

This total is set way too low for this matchup. Minnesota has not been putting out the effort defensively since they were decimated with injuries. The Timberwolves have allowed 102+ in seven of their last nine games, including 104 points to the Hawks on 57.7% shooting in their last outing. I don't see them shutting down the Nets tonight. Brooklyn has really picked up the pace offensively of late and should have no trouble getting to the century mark in this one. The other key here is that the Nets likely won't play with a whole lot of intensity on the defensive end after laying it all on the line in their latest 88-85 win at New York. These two teams met back in early November and combined for 213 points. Going back, each of the last eight meetings between these two teams has produced a total of at least 188 points. BET THE OVER!
