The New Orleans Pelicans ( 44 - 37 ) beat the Minnesota Timberwolves ( 16 - 65 ) 100 - 88 on Monday . Anthony Davis had a special game , in which he led his team in all five major statistical categories . He had 24 points , 11 rebounds , five assists , six blocks and two steals in a do - it - all performance . His play brought his team to the winner 's circle with a much needed victory to keep his team ahead of the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference playoff race . The Pelicans have the same record as the Thunder , but hold the tie - breaker and would be admitted into the playoffs if the teams wind up with identical records . The Timberwolves had a rough second quarter and could n't quite climb out of the hole against New Orleans . They went into halftime down by 15 after trailing the Pelicans by two heading into the second . Zach LeVine led Minnesota with 24 points and seven assists to go along with five rebounds for the rookie . Decimated by injuries , the Timberwolve 's frontcourt was manned heavily by Justin Hamilton , Adreian Payne and Arinze Onuaku . Those three combined for 18 points and 12 rebounds . Chase Budinger and Robbie Hummel helped pick up the slack . They had 29 points , 18 rebounds and five assists combined . Minnesota needs a win and a New York Knicks loss to avoid being the sole team with the worst record in the NBA this season . Minnesota will end their rebuilding year in Oklahoma City against the Thunder , as the Pelicans will travel to San Antonio to take on the Spurs on Wednesday . Each game has massive playoff implications . The Thunder need a win and a Pelicans loss . If the Pelicans win they secure the eighth seed . However , the Spurs are playing for the second seed in the Western Conference and likely wo n't rest their star players .
