Today in the NBA, the Timberwolves welcome the Hornets in what should be an entertaining match at the Target Center. If you plan to watch Minnesota Timberwolves vs New Orleans Hornets live, stream online, or on TV today then first check out our Minnesota vs New Orleans match preview.
Minnesota Timberwolves vs New Orleans Hornets
The Timberwolves go into this one with a 23% winning record, and naturally as underdogs against the New Orleans Hornets. Kurt Rambis will be sure to keep an eye on the New Orleans streak (W 2), but the key against Hornets will be containing Chris Paul, Emeka Okafor and David West. The Timberwolves point differential is -7.3 this season (good for number 29 in the NBA), but not as good as the New Orleans Hornets’s average winning margin of 2.6 in the 2010-2011 NBA season.
Playing on the road, the Hornets will need to play to their strengths and their 32 defensive rebounds per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and 6th best in the whole league in that area). Monty Williams’s team is 18-12 this season and today will hope to improve their 5-9 record away from New Orleans Arena. 
Minnesota have been dominating their opponents this season in the offensive rebounds departement, with a 3.3 offensive rebounds differential advantage over their opponents on average over the season. Their 87 field goals attempted average per game is 1st in the NBA, and that will be an area that Monty Williams and his coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen the Timberwolves’ 5-7 home record.The fans in the Target Center are in for a treat today and if you want to join them and watch Timberwolves vs Hornets online live streaming on NBA League Pass or on your TV – then make sure to tune in at 20:00 ET today.
