New Orleans Pelicans vs Minnesota Timberwolves | MUST HAVE NBA PICKS AND PREDICTIONS FOR 1/3/24

New Orleans Pelicans vs Minnesota Timberwolves | MUST HAVE NBA PICKS AND PREDICTIONS FOR 1/3/24

Pelicans doing pretty well right now they’ve been uh getting it done defensively recently uh keeping seven of their last nine opponents under their team total but this is the second leg of back-to-back games with travel they were playing at home yesterday road today uh also the start of a a tough conference

Schedule as well um they have the Wolves today obviously then they got the Clippers Kings Warriors nuggets and Mavs on Deck I think all of them are on the road as well so they’re going to have to to me I think they had to manage minutes throughout this uh throughout this run

Of a tough opponents here on the Wolves side 24 and8 on the season but they have failed to cover in six of their last seven games they actually stayed under their team total in five of uh five straight games actually so it’s their offense that’s really been keeping them

From covering these games uh when I look at the health of both of these rosters the Wolves completely healthy I don’t see anyone in the in on the injury report Pelican side Matt Ryan is I think out and then Trey Murphy I think is a more important guy he is questionable he

Didn’t play yesterday so it’ll be interesting to see if he plays um but from just a overall look of this game here I think the Wolves struggles recently has to do with the amount of travel they had on their schedule they had to travel for 13 of their last 14

Games um then they had two home games in a row prior to the new year and then they are the more rested team coming into this one so that should also help as well you know I think the when I look towards the Pelican side um you know

They’re also I think two and uh two one and two against the the Wolves here straight up uh on the Seas seon covering uh covering the last two but the first game I believe um sorry the second game the second game they were on the The

Wolves were on the tail end of a five-game road trip so that was a tough spot for the wolves and that’s why they they they didn’t end up winning that game but they didn’t cover the third game the the uh Pelicans they won that game the The Wolves were without Anthony

Edwards and the Pelicans were at home on a three on three days of rest so they have a they had a really good spot there for the uh Pelicans to to win that one out right um from a match up perspective though when fully healthy I think that

The wolves are the better team overall uh also they have the schedule Advantage uh going into this one as well like I said Pelicans second leg of back-to-back games with travel uh the Pelicans they when I look in that situation they’ve yet to win a game on the second leg of

Back-to-back games if their opponent is rested 0 and three straight up in that spot and then they were they were actually favored in two of those and they’re 0 and2 against the spread if the second leg of back-to-back games is on the road they lost outright to the Jazz

100 to to 105 they lost to the Bulls outright as well they were favorites in that one 118 to 124 and if you look at the Wolves at home right they’re dominant at home 14 and one on the season they’re only allowing opponents to score 102 points per game at home if

They’re opponent is on the second leg of back-to-back games they have yet to lose a game in that spot and they’re winning by an average of 12 12 almost 12 and a half points per game and none of those wins were less than seven points so for

Me I like the matchup I like the spot here for the wolves Ronald cabang says take a look at Minnesota minus the points bet against New Orleans on the second of backto backs this evening Ronald what do you have to promote over at wager talk.com

Right now yeah um you today 5% play it’s a rare thing for me I I don’t usually have 5% plays so um that that’s here actually going back to the beginning of the 2022 season I’ve only had 26 5% spread bets um and I’ve hit on 73.1% of

Them and that’s actually the number one percentage in Roi at wager talk since that time so like I said it’s a rare thing that I do and when I do typically it’s on the right side so um I’m also seeing the the NBA pretty well six of

The last eight straight uh six of the last eight days were winning in the NBA um college basketball doing well right now hitting 58% there as well so the hardwood uh has been trading me well
