Minnesota at New Orleans

The Minnesota Timberwolves have opened some eyes with their 8-3 start on the season. They are getting it done on both ends of the floor and particularly on defense as the t-Wolves have held seven opponents to 40% shooting or less. They have also shot 47% or higher themselves in seven games. New Orleans is dealing with three key players out with various injuries and the Pelicans have gotten little traction at 6-6. They are off of two straight upset wins vs Dallas and Denver, and could be flat here. The Pelicans are just 8-14 ATS vs. Minnesota in the last 22 meetings, and just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 in this series at home. Make the play on Minnesota.
