MIT Simulator - NBA Monday Timberwolves vs Lakers Winner
MIT Simulator Score - Minnesota 117.92, Los Angeles 107.95 - Projected Total Points: 225.87 - Current O/U: 215.5 - Variance to O/U: 10.37 - MIT Simulator shows Edge Factor of 10.37 points. Value is double digits. Projected box-score shows Wolves and Lakers combining for 19 three pointers, 66 two pointers, 37 free throws. Key factors noted: Off of a grueling double-OT loss at Houston yesterday, the Lakers already sub-par defense certainly is unlikely to put up much effort in this back to back situation against a Timberwolves team that is known for lighting up the scoreboard. Minnesota put up a strong effort on defense in their win over the Pacers yesterday and, like the Lakers, are likely to be lacking on the defensive side of the court in this one. Los Angeles O/U is 9-4 this season after a game in which they allowed 115 points or more. Minnesota O/U is 22-11 when playing the 2nd game of a back to back. The MIT Simulator is showing great value for the over here with this O/U at 215.5 at the time of this posting. Projected box-score made shots (as detailed above) equates to 226 points per MIT Simulator. Play: OVER
