The Los Angeles Clippers pay a visit to the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center on Saturday night. Here’s a Timberwolves vs Clippers Prediction. This article will include a Timberwolves vs Clippers Pick.
Los Angeles Clippers Betting Preview
The Los Angeles Clippers have been in terrible shape as they’ve lost 15 of their last 18 games overall and they will be hoping for a better effort after getting beaten by the depleted Grizzlies in a 107-98 road defeat last night. Kawhi Leonard led the team with 24 points, eight rebounds and four assists, James Harden tallied 18 points with seven assists while John Collins chipped in with 16 points. As a team, the Clippers shot 44 percent from the field and 14 of 44 from the 3-point line, which was good enough to keep pace for about three quarters. However, the Clippers went cold and managed just 17 points in the fourth quarter to lose the game and fall to a miserly 3-10 on the road so far this season.
Minnesota Timberwolves Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves have been in great form as they’ve won 10 of their last 14 games overall, and they will be aiming for a fifth straight victory after beating the Pelicans in a 125-116 road win on Thursday. Julius Randle led the team in scoring with 28 points with nine rebounds on nine of 18 shooting, Naz Reid added 19 points with seven rebounds and six assists, while Rudy Gobert tallied 15 points with 12 rebounds. As a team, the Timberwolves shot 46 percent from the field and 15 of 38 from the 3-point line as they found themselves in a real close contest with the pesky Pelicans through three quarters. However, the Timberwolves didn’t fully gain control until they opened the fourth quarter on a 15-1 run to pull ahead by double digits.
Timberwolves vs Clippers Prediction
The Clippers are still missing some key players with Bradley Beal, Derrick Jones Jr and Bogdanovic out, while the Timberwolves don’t have a single player listed on the injury report. The Clippers have been mired in a terrible slump and things went from bad to worse last night as they were unable to take down the depleted Grizzlies. In contrast, the Timberwolves have been flying under the radar lately, and they’ve done a great job of beating on the struggling teams in the league so far. With that being said, I will stick with the Timberwolves to maintain their momentum with another win and cover at home against this slumping Clippers squad.
