The Pelicans are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The Timberwolves are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 home games and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 0 days rest. The under is 19-7 in Pelicans last 26 overall. The under is 5-1 in Timberwolves last 6 overall. The Pelicans are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Minnesota.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are getting the benefit of the doubt because they're at home, and them being close to full strength is a good spot. However, the New Orleans Pelicans are one of the hotter teams in the league right now, and they lose as underdogs by an average of 2 points. I like what I'm seeing from the Pels and this matchup is key for seeding. I'll take a shot with the Pelicans and the points.
