Stephen Nover's NBA Tuesday Spread Crusher
(NBA) Washington vs. Minnesota, 04/09/2024 8:00 PM, Score: 121 - 130
Point Spread: 16.50 | -103.00 Washington (Away)
Result: Win
The Timberwolves are tied with the Nuggets for the top spot in the Western Conference. Minnesota plays in Denver against the Nuggets on Wednesday in a huge national TV (ESPN) matchup.

But first the Timberwolves host the Wizards on Tuesday. So you'll excuse the Timberwolves if they don't bring their "A" game in an obvious look-ahead spot.

The Wizards are terrible. But only once in their last 11 games have they lost by more than 16 points.

"...These games matter to us and we're going to try to use each one, and use each day to try to get our team better and grow," Wizards interim coach Brian Keefe was quoted as saying.

Washington won't play again until Friday so a full effort should be forthcoming. The Timberwolves have only blown out one opponent by more than 16 points during their last 10 games.
