The Minnesota Timberwolves show time and time again that they're not a good team, and losing to the Heat without Bam and Butler is just another red flag. The New Orleans Pelicans have Zion back in the mix, and they're one of the best home teams in the league, where they win by an average of 8.5 points. The line is reasonable. Give me the Pels and the chalk.
