Timberwolves at Clippers picks and predictions
Prediction
Clippers 109, Timberwolves 106
Moneyline
BET CLIPPERS (+125).
The Clippers have been rolling over the last few weeks. They haven’t lost at home since a Nov. 2 defeat against the Oklahoma City Thunder, 105-92. They are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 home games, having taken down the Kings, Magic, Nuggets and Warriors in that span.
Minnesota, while it did beat the Clippers Friday, has lost 7 of its last 11 games, going 3-8 ATS. The Timberwolves are 2-3 ATS in their last 5 road games.
Take CLIPPERS (+125).
Against the spread
PASS.
Given the size of the spread here, the preferred route is to take the home team to come out on top. The value is better on the ML, although the spread is certainly playable.
Over/Under
BET OVER 213.5 (-110).
Both teams have star players that can score the ball. For the Clippers, they are 4-2 O/U in their last 6 games, scoring at least 126 points in 2 straight. They have allowed at least 105 in 3 of their last 5.
The Timberwolves have scored at least 105 points in 6 of their last 8 games, going 4-4 O/U. They have allowed at least 110 points in 5 of 8 games, as well. Considering this low total and those trends, back OVER 213.5 (-110).
