Predictions, Odds, and Betting Preview for the New Orleans Pelicans vs Minnesota Timberwolves NBA Regular Season Game on April 9, 2023
- Where: Target Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
- When: Sunday, April 9, 2023, 3:30 PM E.T.
Betting on the New Orleans Pelicans
- Regular Season Record: 42-39
The Pelicans are finishing the season on a high note, winning ten of their last fifteen games, securing a spot in the postseason, and with a serious chance of making it directly to the Playoffs if they win their last regular season game. Last Friday, they played their final home game, defeating the New York Knicks 113-105.
Trey Murphy III was the star of the game, leading the Pelicans with 31 points in 39 minutes of play, in which he made 10 of 21 attempts, in addition from converting from the free-throw line, sinking all eight of his shots. Brandon Ingram has been the team’s top scorer this season, averaging 24.3 points per game.
Betting on the Minnesota Timberwolves
- Regular Season Record: 41-40
The team from the city of Minneapolis returns home after visiting the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday, all as part of a back-to-back series. Like their opponents this Sunday, they are assured of a spot in the postseason, and if they win, they could be able to climb up positions in the West, a crucial move as they aim to secure home-court advantage in a potential Play-In game.
However, the Timberwolves have had a challenging end to the season, their victory over the Brooklyn Nets last Wednesday ended a three-game losing streak. Anthony Edwards continues to shine as the team’s top player, averaging an impressive 24.5 points over 77 games played so far this season.
JefeBet Prediction
This Pelicans vs Timberwolves game will be filled with tension, as both teams battle it out for a spot in the postseason. According to the result of this match, along with other games that will be played at the same time, it will be seen whether they will have one of the six direct berths to the Playoffs or if they will have to play in the Play-In tournament.
Although not playing in their home court, the Pelicans have been showing more consistency in recent weeks, taking on tough challenges like their previous game against the Knicks. Considering what was previously mentioned, at JefeBet, we believe that the visiting team could come out on top, but not by a considerable difference, it should be a very close game.
Prediction: New Orleans Pelicans Spread (NOP 115-111 MIN).
