Preview:
A mediocre season from the Timberwolves has them 10th in the West at just 10-14. The Clippers have been flying high, just behind the Lakers at 19-7.
Minnesota open as 5.5-point underdogs here, a number at which I think they’re decent value. The main reason for this is injuries, with LA set to be without several key players here.
Both members of their starting backcourt have been ruled out, significantly worsening their depth. Jerome Robinson probably gets the start here, but he hasn’t proven to be up to NBA standard thus far.
Similarly, I expect the Clippers to be fatigued as this is the 5th game of a 6-game road trip. They play tomorrow in Chicago and its always questionable which part of a B2B Kawhi will actually play on.
Minnesota enter this clash both rather healthy and well-rested. They are in the middle of a 3-game road trip without any key players expected to miss this game.
They’ve also got a very favourable matchup in the form of KAT going against Ivica Zubac. The interior is one of the few weaknesses of the Clippers, which Minny are built perfectly to exploit.
Without the quality backcourt minutes, I can see this game being one the Clippers will need to grind out. Minnesota has a chance in this one and I definitely like them through the key number of 5.
Odds:
Tip: Los Angeles Clippers at $1.39
