They played a solid game throughout but the Grizzlies got them.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63742&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>This week they have a couple of light opponents on the road so they can go into the All-Star break with some positive momentum.<\/p>\n<p>I am still having a hard time getting over how good they have been in the first half. They are by far the surprise team thus far.<\/p>\n<p>The more I see of him this year the more I am impressed with PG Jeff Teague.<\/p>\n<p>I have always thought he would never justify his draft position but now it looks like the extension they were forced to give him in 2014 was a steal.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63727&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Kyle Korver is not a great player but he is having his best season as a pro. He has been one of the best shooters in the league for years but this season he has taken it to another level making 52% of his three point attempts.<\/p>\n<h3>Minnesota<\/h3>\n<p>The Timberwolves have the worst record in the Western Conference. However, they are playing their best ball of the season having won their last three games including a rare road victory over a decent Detroit team.<\/p>\n<p>They even surprised Memphis at home by a point. They are not ready to go on a tear but for a team that has been terrible they might be playing with as much confidence as they have had all season long.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Martin is back and he is making a difference.<\/p>\n<p>Four of Minnesota\u2019s eleven wins have come since rejoined the team at the end of January. His additional scoring has taken a little pressure off rookie Andrew Wiggins while also giving the talented slasher more room to operate.<\/p>\n<p>Martin has never been one of my favourite players but he knows how to score, you can\u2019t deny it.<\/p>\n<p>Now they just have to get Ricky Rubio in the lineup more consistently to see what this team could look like.<\/p>\n<h3>NBA Handicapping Trends:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hawks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Over is 6-1 in Hawks last 7 overall.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Hawks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 0 days rest.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Under is 4-0 in Timberwolves last 4 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Timberwolves are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 Monday games.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Timberwolves are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Hawks are 1-5-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Hawks are 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Minnesota.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>4* FREE NBA Score prediction: \u00a0Atlanta 103 &#8211; Minnesota 95<\/h3>\n<p>The Wolves are playing better but the Hawks are actually good.
