*NBA(1u): Nets 1H +1.5(-110) @ Timberwolves–7 PM CT

Minnesota enters this game off of 3 days rest; while some might think that is an advantage, oftentimes teams play worse in that first game off of extended rest. Once you get into the swing of the season, having a break in your schedule can have a tendency to throw off your rhythm, particularly on the offensive end of the floor. I’m not as sold on this team as most. In particular, this T-Wolves offense ranks just 22nd in offensive efficiency. Brooklyn seems to be turning a corner after losing Kevin Durant to a knee injury, with Kyrie Irving and James Harden seemingly gelling together nicely over the past few games. Brooklyn comes into this game off of 2 straight road wins and hasn’t played a back-to-back in over 10 days. I think the Timberwolves struggle to get things going offensively early in this game and that Brooklyn continues to improve with Kyrie and James Harden now leading the way. I’ll take the point-and-a-half in the 1st Half as insurance, although I think Brooklyn heads into Halftime with the lead.
