I'm playing on Minnesota/NO OVER the total. These teams played a few low-scoring games against each other, early in the season. With the T-Wolves now clicking on offense, I'm expecting a considerably higher-scoring game this evening. Last time out, the Wolves scored 141 points. In their previous game, they scored 135. I've mentioned before that Minnesota road games have been much higher scoring than Minnesota home games. On the road, the Wolves have seen their games average 228.3 points. The OVER is 14-5 when they play away from Minnesota. The opposite is true of the Pelicans. Their home games have been (slightly) higher-scoring than their road games. Note that New Orleans has been shaky defensively of late. Over their past five games, the Pelicans are allowing 115 points, while allowing opposing teams to connect on 48.3% of their field goals. On a 4-game winning streak, note that the OVER is 7-2 the past nine times that Minnesota had won three or more consec. games. During that span, the OVER is also 9-2 when the Wolves were off a game where they scored 130 or more. Expect those stats to improve.
