Coming off a mighty impressive road win against the Raptors, the New Orleans Pelicans (7-6) will next focus their attention on the new-look Minnesota Timberwolves (5-9), who hope a quick facelift can get their season on track.
The Jimmy Butler saga is finally over, with Robert Covington and Dario Saric replacing the unhappy Minnesotan on Tom Thibodeau’s roster, but New Orleans should have no complaints with a changing of the guard. Last season, the Timberwolves swept the four-game series from the Pelicans, and outside of the first contest, the games were not particularly competitive.
