Offense to be on display as Timberwolves/Nets clash

After coming off a game that made Kobe Bryant tweet "This game is hard to watch," the Timberwolves are flying offensively.

The third-ranked offense in the league has been on an over tear as of late. The Timberwolves have gone over in five of their past six, with the one under resulting from a miserable offensive performance from the Atlanta Hawks.

However, when Minnesota travels to Brooklyn they won't be the only hot Over play. The Nets have gone Over in their past six straight contest and now that the team is clicking this trend is looking better than ever to continue.

The Nets and T-Wolves open with a total of 210.5.
