Command Analysis
Minnesota Timberwolves
USACurrent form
MinnesotaThe Timberwolves retain their chances of getting into the top 6 of the Western Conference. The team had a great stretch of the season, scoring eight wins in a row, but then the difficulties began. Minnesota lost to Indiana in overtime (130:132), and in the previous match sensationally lost points in the game against New Orleans (115:119).
Of course, it's not easy to keep up the pace for a long time, especially in the face of fierce competition. On the other hand, Wolves want to play on equal terms with the top clubs in the league. The next match will be held at the home arena, where Chris Finch's team will again host the Pelicans. It is important for Minnesota to return to winning ways to strengthen its position in the standings.

New Orleans Pelicans
USACurrent form
The team from New Orleans is in the penultimate place in the standings. This season is definitely not going to be saved, especially considering that the team is going through a restructuring phase. New Orleans had to lose three matches in a row, after which the team joined the fight and sensationally beat Minnesota (119-115). Zion Williamson was one of the best on the floor, scoring 29 points.
However, it will be difficult to repeat this result, as Minnesota will clearly take into account its mistakes and will strive for revenge. The Pelicans continue to demonstrate an unstable game, alternating wins with losses. The main task for the remaining games is to finish the season with dignity and give the players the opportunity to prove themselves.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brandon Boston, Herbert Jones, Trey Murphy and Jejante Murray will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
In 3 of the last 5 face-to-face matches, New Orleans celebrated the victory.

1.90Tip and bets
Minnesota has been holding the bar high for a long time, but fatigue after eight consecutive wins has made itself felt. Most likely, the head coach drew conclusions after the previous two failures, so the hosts will try to play more aggressively and take revenge.
New Orleans can surprise you from time to time, as in the previous meeting, but overall the team is far from optimal shape. It is unlikely that the Pelicans will be able to repeat their recent success. Minnesota has every chance of winning, especially considering the factor of the home arena and the motivation to fix the situation, but it seems that the guests will walk away from the defeat.
Our prediction is that New Orleans will win with a handicap of (+15) points in 1.77
Bet on the total
Minnesota has no plans to lose any more points out of the blue. The team is likely to keep a high pace, and the desire to rectify the situation will be present. New Orleans is not particularly worried about the result, so it plays for its own pleasure. The club operates in an attacking manner, so there is a chance to see a spectacular meeting. In our opinion, the overall total will be broken.
Betting Tip - total more than 227 points in 1.71
Betting on statistics
The home field factor, the motivation to take revenge and the desire to stay among the contenders for the top six of the West will drive the team forward. Minnesota is ready to prove itself, especially since there are no problems with the squad. New Orleans' defense is not reliable, which gives the Timberwolves every chance to score a lot of points.
Prediction – Minnesota's individual total is over 121.5 points in 1.90
