Minnesota Timberwolves @ New Orleans Pelicans:
New Orleans Pelicans (+ 10.5) /// 2.05
Last bet lost. One hour before the start of the game, it became known that Jalen Johnson would not play for Atlanta Hawks. He is a key player whose average statistics in the current season are: 23.2 points in 34.9 minutes, 10 rebounds, 7.3 assists on 3.3 turnovers, 41.3% three-point shooting, 0.4 blocks and 1.6 steals. I think it's obvious that he is the most valuable player for Atlanta (in the absence of the injured Trae Young). The Clippers certainly felt that they could win this game. Of course, if I had known that Jalen Johnson wouldn't be playing, I wouldn't have bet on this match. My betting score is MLB 201-184 in favor of successful, NBA 190-202 in favor of unsuccessful, NHL 10-18 in favor of unsuccessful, NFL 7-12 in favor of unsuccessful.
New bet: New Orleans Pelicans at home will not lose to Minnesota Timberwolves by more than 10 points. New Orleans has already finished the current season, let's be honest. But I am sure that Minnesota's fully healthy roster will not find the motivation and will again fail to win by a large score difference, as in previous games between these teams. The point is that Minnesota has won only 2 of the last 15 games against New Orleans by 11 points or more. And these injury problems started for New Orleans a long time ago. But even the Pelicans' current roster is made up of very promising players such as Trey Murphy III, Saddiq Bey, as well as Jeremiah Fears and Derik Queen, who were drafted 7th and 13th in the 1st round, respectively. Bet? Sure!
