Memphis -2
Timberwolves general manager Kevin McHale might be assessing his seven-player trade that sent Wally Szczerbiak, Michael Olowokandi and Dwayne Jones to Boston for Ricky Davis, Mark Blount, Justin Reed and Marcus Banks. Since the trade, Minnesota is just 4-10.
Forward-center Pau Gasol collected 21 points and 12 rebounds and Mike Miller scored 14 off the bench on Friday but Memphis couldn't overcome 22 turnovers in an 83-80 loss to San Antonio at home.
Memphis' Eddie Jones has struggled in his last three contests after the All-Star break, averaging only 7.6 points and connecting on just 3-of-10 shots from 3-point range.
The Grizzlies breezed to a 107-87 triumph over Minnesota on January 25 as they drained 12 3-pointers and received 30 points from Gasol. Garnett had 29 points, nine rebounds and three steals.
----Play Against - All teams where the line is +3 to -3 (MINNESOTA) - cold team - failing to cover the spread in 8 or more of their last 10, well rested team - playing 6 or less games in 14 days.
