New Orleans Pelicans and Minnesota Timberwolves head-to-head record

Based on the previous five head-to-head encounters between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Minnesota Timberwolves, this upcoming game could be tough, with momentum moving between the two sides in recent matchups.

The Timberwolves have won two of their previous three games, including a convincing 104-97 victory on January 8, 2025, and a commanding 134-93 victory on March 22, 2025, demonstrating their ability to take charge both offensively and defensively. However, the Pelicans have shown that they are capable of responding, winning close games like 119-115 on March 20, 2025, and winning back-to-back games in late 2023 and early 2024 with scores of 121-107 and 117-106.

Given that both teams have had success, this game may come down to offensive consistency and execution during crucial scoring sequences. If the game follows recent trends, the outcome may be decided late, depending on who manages pressure better.
