Monday, December 31 finds the Minnesota Timberwolves facing the New Orleans Pelicans as they play for the second time this season. The Wolves played the front game of a back to back set winning in Miami on Sunday. The Pelicans last played Saturday in a four point loss to the Rockets.
Last season, Timberwolves swept the Pelicans last season and took the initial game this year. The Pelicans hold the all-time record having bested the Pelicans in 29 of their 55 matches.
Minnesota Timberwolves
Since the trade Karl-Anthony Towns has stepped into the role of leader at least in terms of production on the court. He leads the team in scoring (21.5) and rebounding (12.0). KAT has registered three consecutive double-doubles and has seven in the last 10 games.
In their last match versus the Heat, he came three assists shy of a triple-double with 34 points, 18 rebounds, and 7 assists. The entire starting lineup reached double-digit scoring as did Dario Saric (13) off the bench.

Keita Bates-Diop (illness) is questionable for the match. Derrick Rose (right ankle sprain) missed the game versus Miami and is questionable to play versus the Grizzlies.
Jeff Teague (inflammation in his left ankle) has missed seven consecutive games and isn’t likely to play Monday.
New Orleans Pelicans
Anthony Davis has been posting MVP type figures but needs more support from his squad. In the loss to Houston, Davis led the way for New Orleans with a double-double of 21 points and 11 rebounds.
Four players scored 20 points or more with Julius Randle (23) leading the way. E’Twaun Moore (21) and Jrue Holiday (20) were the other two Pelicans who reached this mark.

Darius Miller (illness) is probable for Monday. Cheick Diallo (right ankle sprain) is questionable to play versus the Wolves. Nikola Mirotic (right ankle soreness) has missed the last five games and will not play on Monday.

After a close loss to the Rockets, the Pelicans enter Monday desperate to get back on the winning side of the equation. With Payton back, it should help bolster New Orleans production and lead them to victory.
