Minnesota has won four of the past five meetings although the Timberwolves are looking to avenge a 121-107 loss to the Pelicans on Dec. 11. Minnesota owns the best record in the Western Conference and it is 14-1 straight up at home and New Orleans is 8-7 on the road. The Timberwolves do come off a 112-106 loss at New York on Monday when Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns combined for 64 points, but only one other scorer was in double figures. Minnesota will try to end a three-game win streak by the Pelicans, who defeated Brooklyn 112-85 on Tuesday and now they are playing a back-to-back. The Pelicans are 3-13 ATS as road underdogs of 5.0-10.5 points and 21-45-3 ATS on thr road against teams with home winning percentages of more than .600. However, in this situation, play the Timberwolves on the moneyline - Max Play
