Monday's Best NBA Bets
By Covers.com
Minnesota Timberwolves at Orlando Magic (-5.5, 189.5)
An angry bunch of T-Wolves arrive in Orlando after blowing a seven-point, fourth-quarter lead to the Knicks on Saturday.
"We have to bring back our intensity," Kevin Love said after his 32-point, 21-rebound performance wasn’t enough to prevent Minnesota from losing its third straight. "I'm actually happy we're going out on the road. We seem to play better [there]."
The T-Wolves are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games. Orlando, meanwhile, is just 3-8 ATS in its last 11 home games.
The Magic won in Milwaukee 99-94 on Saturday, but Jason Richardson isn’t going to bury 9 of 11 3-pointers again.
The road team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 Minnesota-Orlando games.
Pick: T-Wolves
Philadelphia 76ers at Charlotte Bobcats (11.5, 176.5)
Philly’s key players are rested coming into this one. The Sixers dispatched Cleveland 99-84 on Saturday with Andre Iguodala and Elton Brand each playing fewer than 25 minutes.
Jrue Holiday finished with 20 points and five assists, and Lou Williams had 19 points and five assists for 19-9 Philly.
The pathetic Bobcats have lost 14 straight, their last six by an average of 24.8 points. At 3-24, they have the same winning percentage (.125) as the NBA’s all-time worst team, the 1972-73 Sixers who went 9-72.
Charlotte is 2-10 ATS at home. The Bobcats were demolished Saturday in a Clippers’ dunkfest, and the home crowd cheered L.A.’s Blake Griffin as he left the court.
The Sixers aren’t elite, but they handle bad teams. They’re 4-0 ATS in their last four road games against teams with losing home records.

I'm very good in NBA i'm a situational player as in your wear n taer post
NO mater what team is playing I fade the team playing 4 in 5 nights and B 2 B vs a rested reasonably healthy team
DO not go by Bucks last loss that was a bad spot for them home on b 2b after an OT road loss
Miami goes down again to non divison bucks they GOT heats number PERIOD Heat playing 3rd game in 4 and B 2 B and are bad bets after winning by 10 points or more THEY won BY 20 @ Div Rival hawks !
Take this fat 6 point puppy vs the biggest wallet shredder in NBA The Heat !
