The Minnesota Timberwolves, with a strong record and recent win streak, host the struggling New Orleans Pelicans, who are on a poor run and dealing with fatigue from a back-to-back. Both teams have moderate paces and high total Vegas line, indicating a fast-paced game with offensive opportunities, but the high blowout risk due to an 11.0-point spread and high home win probability suggests starters may sit in the 4th quarter if Minnesota builds a big lead. No key absences are reported for either team, so rotations should operate normally, though back-to-back schedules may affect energy levels.
