I would normally say this spot would be weird because it's one of those stand alone road games on a back to back spot. However, though I think it's different now given that the Cavs lost at home last night to the Wizards without Wall. That should wake this team up here and I think they will bounce back with a big effort

I really love the Bucks here tonight. I backed the T Wolves last night and they blew a 19 point lead went into OT and won by 3. This is a very tough spot for them here now as I think they are playing a very pissed off Bucks team who just lost again @ home to the Bulls. Teague also got hurt last night and is out tonight which is a big loss for Minnesota.
