Minnesota Timberwolves (-2) (-115) over Dallas Mavericks*
*This line is currently available at sportsbook. Minnesota remains a Top Play at -3 or less.
The Dallas Mavericks have secured the top seed in the playoffs for the first time in team history, as well as capturing their second division title in franchise history (27 years). With these accolades behind them, the Mavericks will be short-handed tonight against a terrible Minnesota squad.
"As much as Johnson wants to work out the kinks and get his team playing like that again, he knows he must wait until the playoffs. Rest is more important now.
He laughingly threatened to fine Dirk Nowitzki and Jerry Stackhouse if they tried boarding the team plane Tuesday, forcing them to miss a game Wednesday night in Minnesota. More players are likely to miss time down the stretch, including center Erick Dampier, who left Monday night's game in the opening minutes because of a shoulder strain."

It should be noted that Minnesota is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite of 4.5 or less points and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 against teams with a winning record, whereas Dallas is a money-burning 1-4 ATS following a win and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games.
-------------------------
Play On - All teams where the line is +3 to -3 (Minnesota) - triple revenge - three straight losses vs. opponent, after a home game where both teams score 100 or more points.
(48-18 since 1996; 72.7%)
This system is perfect this season, 19-5 ATS since 2002 and 27-6 ATS since 2001.
-------------------------
Finally, the Timberwolves have not forgotten about the 91-65 blowout loss suffered at the hands of Dallas in February on their home floor. Against a depleted Dallas team, look for Minnesota to win one before their home faithful.
