Timberwolves Seek to Rebound Against Pelicans After Two-Game Skid

Minnesota aims to restore confidence and energy as they host New Orleans, who are focusing on player development after playoff elimination.

The Timberwolves are looking to end a two-game losing streak after an eight-game winning run earlier this month.
Minnesota's energy and confidence have dipped, with players emphasizing the need to regain their rhythm ahead of the playoffs.
The Pelicans defeated the Timberwolves 119-115 in their previous matchup on March 19, led by Zion Williamson's 29-point performance.
New Orleans, already eliminated from playoff contention, is using the remaining games to evaluate players and adapt to the loss of Trey Murphy III to a season-ending injury.
The Timberwolves hold a stronger home record (20-16) compared to the Pelicans' struggles on the road (7-28) this season.
