Celtics vs. Timberwolves, 8 p.m. ET

Pick ATS: Timberwolves +4

The Celtics are unbeaten so far this season, but are just 2-1-2 ATS and could have some trouble against this Minnesota team. The Timberwolves can step it up to the next level at home — they handed the Nuggets their only loss so far this season at the Target Center — and have looked excellent defensively as of late. In their last two games, they allowed just 92 points per game on 39% shooting. While Minnesota hasn’t been putting up crazy numbers, it has limited turnovers and focused on rebounds, and could end up pulling this one out or making it close against the undefeated Celtics.

Over/Under: Under 223.5

If the Timberwolves cover, it will likely be within the under. They aren’t scoring much right now — averaging just 109.2 points per game compared to the Boston’s 126.4 — but their defense has looked phenomenal to start the season. They rank first in the NBA in opponent points per game as they have held teams to 99.6 points per game this season. If Minnesota’s defense can continue to hold up against Boston, the under should hit here.
