The Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Clippers meet Monday in NBA preseason action at the STAPLES Center. The Minnesota Timberwolves look for another win to build on their 2-0 preseason start. The Los Angeles Clippers look for a win to get back to a .500 record in preseason play.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have won five of their last nine preseason games. The Minnesota Timberwolves are averaging 115.5 points on 44.6 percent shooting and allowing 113 points on 41.4 percent shooting. D’Angelo Russell is averaging 14 points and 5.5 assists, while Karl-Anthony Towns is averaging 13.5 points and three assists. Naz Reid is the third double-digit scorer and Josh Okogie is grabbing 1.5 rebounds. The Minnesota Timberwolves are shooting 28.9 percent from beyond the arc and 77.8 percent from the free throw line. The Minnesota Timberwolves are allowing 34.7 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 47.5 rebounds per game.

The Los Angeles Clippers have lost six of their last seven preseason games. The Los Angeles Clippers are averaging 105 points on 41.5 percent shooting and allowing 112.3 points on 45 percent shooting. Brandon Boston Jr. is averaging 13.3 points and 3.7 rebounds, while Terance Mann is averaging 12.7 points and two assists. Luke Kennard is the third double-digit scorer and Reggie Jackson is grabbing two rebounds. The Los Angeles Clippers are shooting 32.6 percent from beyond the arc and 76.6 percent from the free throw line. The Los Angeles Clippers are allowing 27.4 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 49 rebounds per game.

There’s no news about who will play or sit out for either team, but the Clippers haven’t pushed their key rotation players yet this preseason. The Minnesota Timberwolves have given a lot of their top players serious playing time, and they’ve had solid results up to this point, mainly on the defensive end. I understand why the Clippers are favored at home, but the Timberwolves will have their chances if they keep giving their rotation playing time.
