Rotoworld Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Nets to cover the first quarter spread for the first time all season:
“Brooklyn is 0-6 ATS and on the ML in the first quarter this season, failing time in and time out. However, yesterday against the 76ers, the Nets had the cover in the bag until Tyrese Maxey hit a free-throw to win the quarter, 40-37.
The Nets only have two nationally broadcasted games or four, depending on flex situations, so this team does not want to come out and stink it up on its home court and for everyone to see. Minnesota is without Anthony Edwards and still the better team, so I expect the Timberwolves to be a public darling tonight despite their 1-5 ATS start and the spread to move more in their favor.
I like Brooklyn in the first quarter at +2.5, but would wait for +3 or +3.5. If we get a live full game spread of +12 or higher, I would play the Nets as well.”
