It's hard to win when you don't work as a unit and post 13 fewer assists than your opponent, a fact the Timberwolves found out the hard way on Wednesday. They received a tough blow as they fell 133-115 to Phoenix. The Timberwolves were down 110-82 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.

Meanwhile, even if it wasn't a dominant performance, New Orleans beat Denver 115-110 on Friday. The win made it back-to-back wins for the Pelicans.

Minnesota's defeat dropped their record down to 8-3. As for New Orleans, the win got them back to even at 6-6.

Looking ahead to Saturday, the Timberwolves are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 5.5 points. They might be worth a quick bet since they've covered the spread the last four times they've played New Orleans.

The Timberwolves took their win against the Pelicans when the teams last played last Wednesday by a conclusive 122-101. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Timberwolves since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
