Saddiq Bey has shown significant improvement lately. After a slow start due to an injury, he is now averaging 22.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 3.4 assists over his last eight games. Bey has exceeded 24.5 PRA in seven of those matches and had impressive performances in earlier matchups against the Timberwolves.
Predictions for the Game
Both of the previous meetings between the Timberwolves and Pelicans resulted in high scores, with the games going over the total points. The Timberwolves have also been involved in several high-scoring games recently. With the Pelicans’ last game ending in a 141-137 scoreline against Milwaukee, a high-scoring affair seems likely. The total for this matchup is set at 237.5, and betting over this figure appears to be a sound prediction.
Pick: OVER 237.5 (-107)
