Through 3 Quarters
The point spread is against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but thus far the points are on their side. After three quarters it's looking more and more like their high-powered offense is just too much for the New Orleans Pelicans as Minnesota lead 105-82.
The Timberwolves have been relying on power forward Jaden McDaniels, who has 17 points in addition to two blocks, and shooting guard Jaylen Nowell, who has 16 points and four assists.
Power forward Zion Williamson (21 points) has been the top scorer for New Orleans.
Minnesota's lead is the biggest they have had this season going into the fourth quarter.

What to Know
This Thursday, the Minnesota Timberwolves are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 117 points per matchup. After a few days' rest for both teams, they and the New Orleans Pelicans will meet up at 8 p.m. ET March 11 at Smoothie King Center. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'
Minnesota took a serious blow against the Charlotte Hornets last Wednesday, falling 135-102. The Timberwolves were down 98-76 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. Minnesota's loss came about despite a quality game from point guard Ricky Rubio, who had 20 points and nine assists.
Meanwhile, New Orleans came up short against the Miami Heat last week, falling 103-93. One thing holding the Pelicans back was the mediocre play of point guard Lonzo Ball, who did not have his best game: he finished with ten points on 4-for-16 shooting in his 30 minutes on the court.
Minnesota is expected to lose this next one by 8. Now might not be the best time to take Minnesota against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past nine consecutive games.
The losses put Minnesota at 7-29 and New Orleans at 15-21. The Timberwolves are 5-23 after losses this season, New Orleans 8-12.
