Best bets for Friday, Jan. 16

The Timberwolves had the Rockets' number last year, winning two of three over their Western Conference rival. These teams meet for the first time this season on Friday, with Houston looking to flip the script. Minnesota is 27-14 entering Friday and has won seven of its last 10. Anthony Edwards is enjoying a stellar start to his season as he's averaging 28.9 points per game. Houston just fell to the Thunder on Thursday and are a different-looking team than a year ago thanks largely to the offseason trade for Kevin Durant. The star forward is still an elite scorer in his 18th NBA season, averaging 26.1 points per game in his first year with the Rockets. The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NBA game 10,000 times, has Houston covering in 71% of its simulations.

The Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings meet for a battle of L.A.-area teams on the ice. The Ducks have fallen in the Pacific Division standings after a strong start, losing four of their last five, and the two teams are now separated by just two points. Leading scorers Leo Carlsson, Troy Terry and Cutter Gauthier have all missed recent games. The Ducks' wings being clipped presents an opportunity for the Kings, who have also lost four of their last five. The Ducks cover in 72% of the model's simulations.
