The New Orleans Pelicans (3-4) will attempt to get back to .500 on the season against off-season fan favorites the Minnesota Timberwolves (4-3.) On paper both teams are loaded with All-Star caliber talent so this should prove to be an exciting game!
However, both teams have gotten off to somewhat sluggish starts thus far. The Pelicans collapsed in the fourth quarter against the red-hot Orlando Magic — that felt strange to type — crushing good feelings emanating from the win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. And as far as the Minnesota Timberwolves, their defense ranks the worst in the league.
