Memphis are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games.
The total has gone OVER in 8 of Memphis' last 8 games.
Memphis are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games against Minnesota.
Minnesota are 7-1 SU in their last 8 games at home.
Prediction
I know these teams can score a lot but this total is too high. Before the All-Star break both teams were averaging over 120 ppg each but Minnesota allows 105.68 pts at home and Memphis is scoring 113.23 on the road. Probably it will get close to the total set but it won't go over. Under is the play.
