Minnesota at New Orleans

The teams are meeting for the first time this season and both are in an unusual situation as Minnesota has lost three of four and six of 10, while New Orleans has actually won two straight. The Timberwolves are playing on no rest after barely getting by the Clippers 108-106 last night and erasing a 19-point first-half deficit. Anthony Edwards scored 28 of his 37 points in the second half for Minnesota. The Pelicans come off a two-game sweep of Washington and covered the number in both, including 110-98 as a 6-point favorite on Sunday. They had five double-figure scorers and went 18-for-49 from 3-point range. CJ McCollum scored 25 points for the Pelicans, who are beginning to get some injured players back. The Timberwolves are 0-6 ATS their past six games as favorites and 0-5 ATS their past five Tuesday games. Take the Pelicans.
