The Minnesota Timberwolves have been a good Under team all year while the New Orleans Hornets scoring is down recently over earlier in the season, as we look for these teams to not come close to 200 points tonight.

The Timberwolves are averaging only 92.0 points per game, which is fourth worst in the NBA ahead of only the Nets, Hornets and Bulls, and Minnesota is shooting just a poor 43.8 percent from the floor. It is no small wonder, then, that the Under is 14-6-1, 70.0 percent in all Minnesota games this year. Furthermore, their production has actually been worse here at home, where that have averaged just 90.7 points.

Now, the Hornets are averaging 99.2 points overall, but they have now gone four straight games without reaching 100 points, and given the Minnesota lack of offense, New Orleans would probably need to exceed 100 points for this game not to stay Under. That is not a given here, as not only is their scoring down in their last four games but they also failed to reach 100 points in their last two meetings with the Wolves, and both of those contests came at home.

Both of those last head-to-head meetings went Under, and we look for these clubs to make it a hat trick tonight.
