NBA Matchup Details



The goal here is to have all the information I (WFDevTeam) like to look at when considering a game. That is when I have the time to do so and am not lazy about my picks. I guess if there is something you the reader would like to see included on this page, if its a good idea I'll look to include it when I can.

You can ding me here: Report an issue or request an enhancement. Or you can email Walt but that could get me in trouble. Just saying.

WFDevTeam's Official Pick

Rockets (-5.50) RIGHT

I feel about MInnesota the same way I felt about the Bucks and Washington yesterday. I was right about the Bucks but wrong about WAS, but had only made fading the Bucks official...and honestly I was expecting them to out right lose.

That is I see a good team like MIN managing to step up its game at home, and play its absolute best basketball against a better team that is letting up a bit being up 2. The shooting percentages for MIN form 2 and 3 were 50% and 55.6% respectively (yes higher from 3 than 2) vs. there average on the season of 47.5% vs 36%...so very much an outlier performance. As that comes down HOU will put away the series.

I won't ready to make any pick official until I see how the public picks around 12.

The public is really split on this game. Perhaps they are buying into the notion of MIN raising their level of play..or HOU faltering. Maybe they are right but makes me want to make this official on the notion that HOU simply was a better team letting up a bit going against a solid team playing its best ball as the series arrived on hits home court...but that will bounce back re-motivated as MIN regresses a bit to their normal level of play.

1 on Rockets vs. 0 on Timberwolves
