Plagued by injuries, but with Zion Williamson still active, the Pelicans appear destined to fight to avoid last place in the Western Conference this season. They suffered their 18th loss of the season on their visit to Crypto Arena against the Lakers, and a 27-46 first quarter effectively ended any chance New Orleans had of a comeback. Following that loss and Saddiq Bey's 22-point, 11-rebound performance, the Pelicans are preparing to host the Timberwolves at the Smoothie King Center on December 2nd and 4th.
Meanwhile, in their last game, the Timberwolves secured a valuable 125-112 victory against the Spurs, aided by a 32-point performance from Anthony Edwards. This marks his fifth consecutive game scoring 29 or more points; on November 21st and 24th, he had 41-point nights against the Suns and 43 against the Kings.
Although the Timberwolves are 9.5-point favorites to beat an injury-plagued Pelicans team, Minnesota's record against the spread is 8-12, while the Pelicans' is 10-9-2.

Our New Orleans Pelicans vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
The Timberwolves have been one of the few teams relatively unaffected by the NBA's injury crisis, which has plagued many teams, including the Pelicans, who are unable to field players like Poole, Murray, and Matkovic due to injuries.
Minnesota's last visit to the Smoothie King Center was in January 2025. On that occasion, they defeated the Pelicans 104-97, covering the -4 spread at the betting houses, with Edwards scoring 32 points.
Our prediction for Timberwolves vs Pelicans is: Timberwolves -8.5.
