Betting on the Minnesota Timberwolves
- Regular Season Record: 31-32
Losing four of their last five games has pushed the Minnesota Timberwolves’ record back below .500, and they come into this game on an active streak of three consecutive losses.
The most recent loss was to the Golden State Warriors by 109-104, an expected result when starting their road trip on a difficult court, and now things won’t get any easier for them.
Minnesota’s main problem in this bad stretch of the season has been its offense, which could not surpass 110 points in three of those games. Plus, if Rudy Gobert does not recover from his illness for this game, they could have problems on their side of the court.
Betting on the Los Angeles Clippers
- Regular Season Record: 33-30
It seems that the Russell Westbrook effect is beginning to dissipate on the Los Angeles Clippers, who have lost their last two games in a row, putting at risk their 5th place in a West Conference where only 2.5 games separate the 4th from the 10th-ranked team.
The first of their losses in their current negative streak was to the Sacramento Kings in a game that went to double overtime and in which they lost by 176–175, while the second was in a tough visit to the Denver Nuggets, where they had to play overtime again before falling by 134–124.
The Clippers had one of the poorest offenses in the league for much of the NBA season, but the health of their star players has turned things around, with Los Angeles averaging a respectable average of 112.7 points per game at the moment, and if they continue their good pace, they could improve soon.
JefeBet Prediction
Beyond the recent results, the Clippers’ performance cannot be underestimated, as they came very close to winning in their two recent losses, and now they will return to play at home, where they recently defeated the league champion Golden State Warriors.
The Timberwolves have recently been known to drop a lot defensively when playing on the road, and while their last away game ended in a 109-104 loss, their previous four away games saw them allow at least 120 points.
This opens the door for the Clippers’ new Big Three to show off and give their fans a treat at Crypto.com Arena.
Prediction: Clippers Asian Handicap.
