Timberwolves at Clippers picks and predictions
Prediction
Clippers 109, Timberwolves 101
Moneyline
Minnesota is 6-7 on the road this season and has lost 4 of its last 5 road games.
The Clippers are 8-6 at home and will have both Paul George and Kawhi Leonard in the lineup. They kicked off their 5-game homestand with a 20-point win over the best team in the league in the Celtics.
That play should carry over, but a wager on the moneyline doesn’t make sense at this price.
PASS.
Against the spread
The Timberwolves are only 10-17 ATS this season and are 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games.
The Clippers are 14-15 ATS, but have covered the spread in 3 straight games.
With the Clippers having both stars in the lineup, expect the home team to cover the spread.
BET CLIPPERS -6.5 (-105).
Over/Under
The Timberwolves’ last 5 games have all had at least 224 points.
The Clippers are 11-18 O/U this season and only 5 of their 16 wins this season have had 224 or more points.
BET UNDER 223.5 (-110).
