Our Minnesota Timberwolves vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction
Minnesota is a double-digit favorite in this game; however, New Orleans looks to be the best betting option. The Pelicans are by far one of the worst teams in the NBA this season. That said, New Orleans has seen their last 14 games in a row decided by 10 points or less.
Minnesota, on the other hand, has a solid record but is a mediocre 5-5 in their last 10 games. They are still one of the better home teams in the league, with a record of 17-8.
Even though the Pelicans have been awful this year, their ability to keep games relatively close means that our Minnesota Timberwolves vs New Orleans Pelicans prediction is: New Orleans Pelicans +10.5.Grab an extra $350 for your Minnesota Timberwolves vs New Orleans Pelicans wager!
