Timberwolves vs. Clippers Prediction, Spread, Over/Under
The Western Conference playoff picture is as congested as ever, and the Timberwolves are square in the thick of it. There are five teams separated by 2.5 games between the No. 3 and 7 seeds, with Minny hanging in the fifth spot. A medium-length losing streak by any of these teams could easily see one land in the play-in picture.
Minnesota would love to get back in the win column tonight after uncompetitive losses to the Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Lakers. They’re on a quick turnaround, too, which they’ve had some decent success with. The Wolves are 6-3 on the tail end of a back-to-back.
The Clippers are finally healthy and are starting to play quite well. They’ve risen from the No. 10 seed in the West to eighth, sitting 5.5 games back of the Phoenix Suns.
They’ve been led all season by F Kawhi Leonard, who in his 14th season is arguably playing the best basketball of his illustrious career. The Klaw is averaging a career-high 27.9 points and has continued to evolve his game, taking a career-high 6.8 3-point attempts each night.
