2012 Game Logs: Game 11 Timberwolves @ NOLA

Minnesota is a 1.5 point favorite on the road tonight. I know the nation may not be filled with gamblers but it doesn't take the wagering type to know that it isn't every day the Wolves are favored on the road.

Eric Gordon is out tonight for the Hornets. The Wolves will be without Beasley. So I figure that is about even.  Or not.

There are still a lot of improvements to be made but this team is a lot better than last season.  Or at least it feels a lot better than a 3-7 team.
