When Minnesota wins, the games usually don't come down to the last possession. The last 9 Timberwolves victories have all been by at least five points or more. As for the Pelicans, 10 of their previous 13 losses have been by double-digits.

Minnesota is on a roll when facing the teams they are supposed to beat. According to stats the Timberwolves are 7-0-1 against the spread in their last eight road games against a team with a losing home record and are 8-1 ATS against a team with a straight-up losing record. Minnesota has also been putting up huge numbers offensively, and I don't think New Orleans will keep it close.

Take Minnesota.
