Premium Pick

New Orleans has won and covered three straight while Minnesota has lost three in a row. The Timberwolves are playing their third road game in six days after losing 113-110 at Miami on Monday, even while shooting 54.4 percent, and the Heat were without Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. The Pelicans held Indiana to 38 points in the first half and won 113-93 as Naji Marshall scored a career-high 21 points and Jonas Valanciunas added 20 points. New Orleans obviously is getting contributions from many players as Zion Williamson didn't play against Indiana, but he says he will be in the lineup tonight. The Pelicans have covered four of the past five meetings and the Timberwolves are 0-7 ATS their past seven versus teams with .600 or higher winning percentages and they are 1-5 ATS their past six road games. Take the Pelicans.
