The Detroit Pistons are a bad basketball team and not a club I’m thrilled to get behind, but this line is insane. I’ve been high on the Minnesota Timberwolves from the start of the season, and they’re quietly looking like a playoff team, but they’re not in a position to be double-digit favorites against anybody. In fact, this is the first time this season the Timberwolves will be double-digit favorites. The Timberwolves win at home by an average of 3.6 points. Give me the free buckets.
