New Orleans Pelicans vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction & Picks, November 6, 2026

The odds for Terrence Shannon Jr. to grab under 2.5 rebounds look appealing at +115. Our numbers suggest he has a solid chance to hit this mark, especially considering how the Pelicans have been letting opponents grab 44.6 rebounds per game. With the Timberwolves also giving up a fair number, it's a situation where Shannon might not see many chances to get boards. One concrete risk is that he could get more playing time than usual, which might change the game for him. But overall, the way the teams match up makes this a strong pick. If the pace is fast, he could be busy with other tasks rather than chasing down rebounds.

New Orleans Pelicans vs Minnesota Timberwolves: LaMelo Ball Under 3.5 3-Pointers (+105)

The New Orleans Pelicans have been pretty good at limiting three-point shots lately, allowing teams to take more than 37 threes a game. LaMelo Ball might struggle to find open looks against the Pelicans' defense, especially since they often force turnovers and can disrupt plays. With the Timberwolves also allowing fewer threes than average, it's likely Ball won't get as many chances as he needs. Betting on LaMelo Ball to make under 3.5 three-pointers seems like a solid choice. He might be up against a tough matchup, and the Pelicans' defense can make it tricky for him. The risk here is that if he gets hot early, he could hit his shots quickly. But overall, the conditions favor the under on this one.

New Orleans Pelicans vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Ayo Dosunmu Under 1.5 3-Pointers (+126)

Ayo Dosunmu has been struggling to find his rhythm lately, and the matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans could make it even tougher. The Pelicans allow a lot of three-point shots, but they also limit opponents in other areas, which could affect how many chances he gets. With the way both teams play, it seems likely that Dosunmu won't hit more than one three-pointer. The Timberwolves also have a strong defense that forces turnovers, which can disrupt Dosunmu's opportunities. Since he has been inconsistent and the teams are closely matched, there's a chance he could finish with under 1.5 three-pointers. While it's never a sure thing, this bet feels like it has a good chance based on the current situation.
