Free Pick for Tuesday night NBA action

This Tuesday night's NBA betting board at VietBet closes things out with a Western Conference clash between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Phoenix Suns in a 9 p.m. (ET) tip at Talking Stick Resort Arena. VietBet has opened the Timberwolves as slight 2.5-point road favorites with the total set at 214.5.

Minnesota has been able to string together back-to-back straight-up victories against the Los Angeles Clippers on the road and Denver at home as part of a surprising 5-2 run in its last seven games. The Timberwolves (16-28) have also been good to bettors lately with a 6-2 record against the spread over their last eight games. The total stayed UNDER VietBet's 221-point closing line in Sunday's 111-108 win against the Nuggets and it has stayed UNDER in six of their last eight games.

Karl Anthony Towns is coming off a 32-point game against Denver while pulling down 12 rebounds. Andrew Wiggins added 24 points and four assists to the winning cause. Minnesota is ranked 19th in the NBA in scoring with an average of 103.3 points per game and it is giving up an average of 104.4 points a game at the other end of the court. The only possible no-show for Tuesday night could be Ricky Rubio, who is listed as questionable due to personal matters.

The betting line has risen at many sportsbooks since the opening odds were posted, and the current NBA basketball betting odds posted on this game by Elite-rated Vietbet has Timberwolves as road favorites.

Minnesota Timberwolves (-2.5) -110
Phoenix Suns                   (+2.5) -110

Over 214.5 points (-110)
Under 214.5 points (-110)

The Suns (15-29) are another team in the West that have lost far more games than they have won, but they do bring a two-game winning streak (SU and ATS) into this matchup. They stunned Toronto on the road this past Sunday in a 115-103 victory as heavy 12.5-point underdogs with VietBet. Phoenix is now 4-1 ATS in its last five games and the total has stayed UNDER in its last two games.

Eric Bledsoe leads the Suns in scoring this season with 20.9 PPG and he is coming off one of his bigger games this season after posting 40 points, 13 assists and six rebounds against the Raptors. Delvin Booker scored 20 points and Brandon Knight added 12 more points off the bench to help pace the win. Phoenix remains in the top half of the league in scoring with 106.1 PPG, but it is near the bottom of the list in points allowed (111.5).

Both teams have shown some signs of life in recent games in light of a rather dismal overall performance this season. Despite some strong trends for both teams when it comes to the UNDER on the total line, I see this matchup setting up to be a great betting opportunity to go with the OVER 214.5 points on Tuesday night at VietBet.
