Minnesota Timberwolves vs New Orleans Pelicans Betting Preview

The Minnesota Timberwolves (18-17) face off against the New Orleans Pelicans (7-29) on a Tuesday night at 8:00 PM ET in the Smoothie King Center. This matchup comes as a back-to-back for the Timberwolves, who are looking to build on their recent victory over the LA Clippers, where they narrowly edged out a 108-106 win. However, the quick turnaround could hinder their performance, as fatigue may set in after playing just a day prior.

Despite their recent struggles, the Timberwolves enter this game as 5.0-point favorites, with a moneyline of -200, suggesting an implied win probability of 64%. The Pelicans, on the other hand, have been in a tailspin, losing 26 of their last 30 games. They managed a rare victory against the Washington Wizards, winning 110-98, but their overall record and recent form leave much to be desired. The Pelicans' moneyline stands at +170, giving them an implied win probability of 36%.

Both teams have seen better days, with the Timberwolves losing 6 of their last 10 games, while the Pelicans have struggled mightily throughout the season. Even though Minnesota is favored, the back-to-back scenario could level the playing field. Bettors should consider the Timberwolves' need for rest against the Pelicans' recent win, which may provide a spark. As the Timberwolves look to solidify their standing, the Pelicans will aim to capitalize on any fatigue and continue building momentum from their last win.
