Command Analysis
Minnesota Timberwolves
USACurrent form
Minnesota staged a real basketball thriller on March 18, but ended up with nothing. The Timberwolves lost to Indiana in overtime, 130-132. An eight-game winning streak? Forget it. However, that's not to say that Minnesota looked bad. Anthony Edwards took over the leadership, shooting 38 points, to which he added three rebounds and five assists. Naz Reed was good (21 points), Donte Divincenzo didn't let up (19), and Julius Randle and Jayden McDaniels contributed 17 and 13 points, respectively. Chris Finch's team is still in the strongest group - with 40 wins and 30 losses, it ranks seventh in the West.
Disqualifications and injuries
Minnesota is coming to this match fully armed. All the leaders are in the ranks, which means we are waiting for a beautiful basketball game.
Interesting facts for betting
The Timberwolves are averaging 109 points in games against New Orleans (based on the results of the last ten meetings).
The approximate line-up: Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, Julius Randle, Rudy Gober.
New Orleans Pelicans
USACurrent form
New Orleans is not in the best shape right now. Three defeats in a row — and everyone has already forgotten how recently Willie Green's team fought for a place in the playoffs. The last match against Detroit was a real humiliation — 81:127. No chance. The only bright spot in the Pelicans lineup was Zion Williamson. The forward single-handedly tried to save the team, scoring 30 points, making six rebounds and three assists. The only one who helped him was Yves Misy, who scored a double-double (12 points, ten rebounds). With 18 wins and 51 losses, the Pelicans are trailing in 14th place in the Western Conference.
Disqualifications and injuries
New Orleans is unlikely to surprise us with unexpected personnel decisions. The team came to this match with a weakened squad: Trey Murphy and Dejonte Murray were eliminated before the end of the season, plus several substitutes were injured.
Interesting facts for betting
The Pelicans are averaging 107 points in games against Minnesota (based on the last ten meetings).
Approximate composition: Jose Alvarado, C.J. McCollum, Zion Williamson, Kelly Olynyk, Eve Missy.

1.88Tip and bets
Bookmakers frankly don't believe in Pelicans. And no wonder. Minnesota looks much more powerful now, and Chris Finch's team's motivation is off the charts. After an insulting defeat by Indiana, the Timberwolves will come out as energized as possible. Unlike New Orleans, which has lost its playoff chances and is finishing the season without much ambition. In addition, the match will be held in Minneapolis, where the support of the fans always does its job.
Our betting tip is a Minnesota victory with a handicap of (-11.5) points, including overtime in 1.78
Bet on the total
In the last ten face-to-face meetings, Minnesota and New Orleans scored an average of 217 points. These are not teams that can or like to play tough defense. There is a high probability that the match will be productive again.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 231.5 points, including overtime in 2.09
The bet on the player
Rudy Gober is a real matchmaking machine. The French center consistently ranks among the top 10 best players of the season in this indicator. On average, he collects 10.3 rebounds per game, but in a match against a weak opponent, this figure may be even higher.
Our betting tip is that Gober's total rebounds are over 11.5 in 1.87
