Los Angeles Clippers vs Minnesota Timberwolves prediction

The way this line has shifted heavily in the direction of the Clippers tells me the Minnesota Timberwolves are likely going to be without Anthony Edwards. That forces me to side with the Clippers in this near pick em contest. The Los Angeles Clippers will be without Russell Westbrook until further notice, but they still have their star trio of Leonard, Harden and PG13. The Timberwolves have won 4 straight games against the Clippers and 6 of the last 7 games overall. Still, the Clippers are in much better shape if the Timberwolves are going to be down their best player. Give me the Clips.
