I don't need much of an excuse to play Over in a Timberwolves game. The Over has cashed in 22 of Minnesota's last 28 games for 79 percent.

The Timberwolves are the second-highest scoring team in the NBA and below average defensive. They play fast and like to jack up 3's. In other words, an excellent Over team. Minnesota has scored 124 or more points in each of its last five games.

Oklahoma City is giving up an average of 124.4 points in its last nine games. The Thunder just permitted the Bucks to put up 142 points last night.

So I have my excuse to play Over.
