Minnesota Timberwolves vs. New Orleans Pelicans: A One-Sided Laugher (With Props!)
The Minnesota Timberwolves (-10.5) are about to make the New Orleans Pelicans feel like they’re playing basketball in a hurricane. Why? Because the T’Wolves are 12-8 with a 28.9 PPG edge in their last five games, while the Pelicans (3-18) are so bad, their "net rating" is worse than a TikTok dance routine at a funeral.
Key Stat: Anthony Edwards is scoring 28.9 PPG on 49.1% shooting—five straight 30+ point games! The Pelicans’ defense? A sad sack ranked 28th in the league. Edwards’ prop is OVER 28.5 points (-128). Take it: He’ll drop 35 while the Pelicans watch, confused why their defense looks like a Swiss cheese colander.
Why the Pelicans Will Lose:
- Missing Herb Jones, Dejounte Murray, and Trey Murphy III? More like missing a chance to not get blown out.
- Their 23rd-ranked offense (113.8 PPG) vs. Minnesota’s 9th-ranked defense (112.3 PPG allowed)? Math says: yikes.
Prop Pick: Edwards’ 3.5 assist line (-135) is a gimmie. He’ll dish out 5 while laughing at the Pelicans’ bench.
Total Points: The OVER 234.5 (-110) is a lock. The Pelicans’ porous D (122.6 PPG allowed) and Minnesota’s offensive firepower (120.1 PPG) will make this a track meet.
Final Score Prediction: Minnesota 130, New Orleans 105. The Pelicans will spend the fourth quarter planning their next "rebuild."
Note: If you bet on "Pelicans win," congrats—you’ve officially joined the "I like pain" club. Stay there. 🏀💥
