Free Minnesota Timberwolves vs. New Orleans Pelicans NBA Prediction:
The Timberwolves are coming off a tough loss to the Houston Rockets on the road, but they’ve won two of their last three straight up, and they’ve also won 8 of their last 12 overall straight up.
Pelicans May Be Better…But Momentum Matters
On the other hand, the Pelicans looked like a Western Conference favorite for much of the early part of the 2022-23 season, but injuries have crept up (in a not-so-sneaky fashion) to derail those thoughts at this point in the year.
Entering Wednesday, the Pelicans have lost five in a row straight up and 10 of their last 13.
Things aren’t looking up for the Pels just yet.
With all that in mind, the pick is Minnesota both against the spread and straight up as road underdogs against New Orleans.
