Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Cleveland Cavaliers
Free Pick: Cleveland Cavaliers -12.5 (January 27th 2010 – Jack Jones)

I’m laying the big number with the Cavs on Wednesday night against one of the worst road teams in the entire NBA, the Minnesota Timberwolves. Minnesota is just 3-20 on the season as the visiting team and you’d be hard pressed to find a team with worse road numbers. The T-Wolves are scoring 98.6 points per game on the road, but their defense is allowing 112.3 ppg. That’s a 13-point losing margin and they’ve most played their games against teams not called the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs are now 17-3 in Cleveland this season. They score just over 100 ppg on their home court while holding opposing teams to just 92.6 points per game. Also, keep in mind that the average offense that the Cavs have faced so far this season averaged more points per game than Minnesota does and you can really see why laying this many points is not that big of a deal with this match up. The last meeting between these two was back in October in Minnesota where the Cavs won by 17. Before that, in March of last season the Cavs beat the Wolves by 22 in Cleveland. I’ll take them to cover another big spread Wednesday night.
