The Pelicans are coming off a sloppy game where they shot poorly and had 20 turnovers. They only made 25% of their 3-pt shots.
Cousins is averaging 30 ppg this season and coming off a sub-par 12 pt game.
I like playing on a team that comes out publicly and says they flat out stunk in their last game especially when the loss is at home and their next game is also at home.
That's what the Pelicans did after a 16 point loss to Orlando on Monday. New Orleans won their last game on a 3-game road trip at Sacramento and then upset the Cavs at home before the loss so I can understand it. Minnesota is playing their second straight road game after an OT win at Miami on Monday and prior to that they are off an upset of OKC at home. The Pelicans are already 3-0 ATS off a SU loss this season and I believe they take care of business tonight. Lastly the New Orleans Pelicans are 10-2 their last 12 vs. the T-Wolves.
