Memphis Grizzlies at Minnesota Timberwolves

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What’s with all this “worst team in history” talk?

The Minnesota Timberwolves may have only two wins on the season, but they just happen to be coming off the biggest of those two victories. Minnesota stunned the Denver Nuggets with a 106-100 win at the Pepsi Center Sunday, covering as a 14.5-point road underdog.

"For us, there's nothing like a winning locker room," coach Kurt Rambis told reporters. "There's a lot of relief in there."

The T-Wolves got a great effort from their entire roster Sunday. All five starters scored in double figures including forward Ryan Gomes, who led the way with 27 points. Small forward Corey Brewer continues to improve and rookie Jonny Flynn’s recent contributions have made Minny fans forget all about that Ricky guy.

Minnesota has won six of the last seven in the series with Memphis, with the Grizzlies taking their first meeting this year. The Timberwolves have covered in four of the last five games against the Grizzlies.

Pick: Minnesota


Indiana Pacers at Sacramento Kings

After making a bundle for basketball bettors to start the season, the Indiana Pacers are draining backers’ bankrolls like a trophy wife. Indiana has lost six of its last seven games while covering the spread just once in that span.

The most painful thing for those wagering on the Pacers is the team’s recent pattern of blowing big leads. Indiana gave up a double-digit lead to the Golden State Warriors, watching a 14-point lead turn into a 126-107 loss as a 2.5-point underdog. The Pacers suffered a similar fate against the New York Knicks, losing a 19-point lead in a 110-103 defeat as a 6-point home favorite November 18, which started the team on its current slide.

"A lot of times it's up to the team to sometimes take it to another level, but we haven't been able to do that on a consistent enough basis," coach Jim O'Brien told the Indianapolis Star.

Turnovers have burned Indiana this year. The team ranks among the worst in the league with an average of 15.6 turnovers per game and coughed the ball up 25 times in the loss to Golden State.

Pick: Sacramento
