The New Orleans Pelicans have got the Minnesota Timberwolves card marked after a narrow six point loss to their opponents at the beginning of the month. Revenge for the Pelicans in this game would be all the sweeter as it would see them leap frog their opponents in a competitive Western Conference which could prove crucial come the end of the regular season. Both sides NBA odds make them solid options to make those play offs but this game will tell us a lot about the long term credentials of both sides as we approach December.

One thing that stands out in abundance is that New Orleans enjoy playing on their own patch. So much so in fact, they have won four of the last five in front of their adoring home support. In our best NBA betting previews, we have highlighted this fact although the Timberwolves do come with plenty of bite themselves. Having said that, Minnesota come into the game after a disappointing loss to the Wizards and have not put a winning streak together for some time. Unlike the Pelicans who have won three of their last four. That is why we make New Orleans one of our best NBA betting tips to win for this game.
The Pelicans home form is where this game will be won for New Orleans. Both teams in the conference is very similar with the Timberwolves boasting 12 wins and 9 losses whilst the Pelicans have 11 wins and also 9 losses. That means that New Orleans have a game in hand on Minnesota regardless of this game. A win for the Pelicans will not only counter the loss they suffered to Minnesota at the beginning of the month, it will also see them climb above their rivals in what would be a satisfactory double swoop. The general rule is that the Pelicans rarely lose on home soil and that is exactly why we have chosen Dafabet for a New Orleans win. The Asian bookmaker have a range of strong markets and the latest NBA odds making for plenty of selection. But their outright price offers too much value for us to pass up on.
Looking at all the submarkets available on this game, we came across a cracker with Betfair in the under market. The reason for this, is that in the last ten encounters between the two, the average final points tally has finished at 207 points. This gives a nice nine-point pot of insurance. However, both sides have been scoring relatively well of late with the Pelicans averaging a healthy 111 per game and the Timberwolves scoring 106 both in their last ten. Worst case scenario and they both hit their averages, it still means the game is trending for 217 still giving us a winning bet with Betfair. However, what makes this more appealing is that Minnesota have failed to reach triple figures in two of their last three games and are unlikely to reach their average in New Orleans making this game to finish relatively comfortably under the 218 points margin.
