The Minnesota Timberwolves exited the NBA trade deadline without making a major move, and they should be better for it. The New Orleans Pelicans also sat rather quietly, sticking to their core despite steep offers for a few pieces.<\/p>\n

My Pelicans vs. Timberwolves predictions and NBA picks<\/a>\u00a0recognize the value in Minnesota now that calm and focus can return on February 6.<\/p>\n

Pelicans vs Timberwolves prediction<\/p>\n

Pelicans vs Timberwolves best bet: Jaden McDaniels Over 1.5 threes (+100)<\/p>\n

Jaden McDaniels<\/a> has hit multiple 3-pointers in five of his last six games and in seven of his last nine, all while shooting 23 of 39 from deep, an absurd 59% from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n

And that was all while McDaniels\u2019s name was in every headline regarding Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors. Now that he’s able to focus entirely on basketball, why doubt McDaniels\u2019s shooting against the\u00a0New Orleans Pelicans<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Frankly, his shooting is part of why the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> did not trade for the Greek superstar.<\/p>\n

As the Timberwolves hit a lull in recent weeks, it was clear their defensive focus had lagged. Now through the trade deadline and with the roster effectively intact \u2014 even including Mike Conley\u2019s return after being traded \u2014 that focus should lock back in.<\/p>\n

\"Douglas<\/p>\n

Douglas Farmer spends his days thinking about college football and his nights thinking about the NBA. His betting habits and coverage follow that same pattern. He covered Notre Dame football for various outlets from 2008 to 2024, most notably spending eight seasons as NBC Sports\u2019 beat writer on the Irish. That was also when his gambling focus took off. Knowing there were veteran beat writers with three decades more experience than he had, Douglas found his niche by best recognizing Notre Dame\u2019s standing in each year\u2019s national landscape, a complex tapestry most easily understood and remembered via betting odds.<\/p>\n

In 2021, that interest created a freelance opportunity with Covers, a role that eventually led to Douglas joining the company full-time in 2023. In the fall, Douglas will place five or six dozen bets each week, a disproportionate amount via BetRivers because the operator tends to have lines slightly different than the rest of the market. The same can be said of Circa Sports\u2019 futures markets.<\/p>\n

While Douglas is an avid NBA fan and covers the league throughout the year, the vast majority of his bets are on college football, because that is the biggest key to sports betting: Know what you do not know.<\/p>\n
