New Orleans Pelicans vs Minnesota Timberwolves Preview
The Pelicans remain one of the more difficult sides to try and get a read on as we inch closer to the postseason, but I still feel pretty confident in them covering the -8.0 spread for a couple of different reasons.
Firstly, the Wolves have just been awful, plain and simple. Minnesota ranks top three in points allowed this season and 24th in points-per-game on the offensive end – two worrying stats against a Pelicans side that beat the Jazz last week.
Second, this is just a weird schedule spot for Minnesota.
The Wolves fly to New Orleans and then back home to Minnesota to face the Blazers on Sunday.
That’s a ton of travel for a team that is obviously tanking at this point, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see Zion Williamson dominate and the Pelicans winning big.
