Timberwolves at Clippers picks and predictions

Prediction

Clippers 117, Timberwolves 112

Moneyline

The Timberwolves are 21-13 on the road this season and have won 5 of their last 7 games away from home. However, they’ve dropped 2 straight on this road trip. They are banged up, missing Towns and perhaps going without Edwards or Gobert. Even if Edwards plays, he has shot 34% over the last 2 games.

The Clippers (-275) are 22-9 at home. Their only 2 losses over their last 6 games have been to the Bucks.

I don’t like the Timberwolves for the upset, but betting the Clippers on the moneyline isn’t worth the action.

PASS.

Against the spread

Neither team is consistently a good bet ATS. The Wolves are 32-33 ATS overall and 17-17 ATS on the road. The Clippers are 32-31 ATS overall and 16-15 ATS at home.

The winner of the last 10 meetings has covered the spread.

The Wolves are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. The Clippers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 and 4-10 ATS in their last 14.

Two of 3 meetings between these teams have been decided by 4 or fewer points.

BET TIMBERWOLVES +6.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The most recent meeting, an 89-88 Clippers win March 3, finished with 177 total points. The other 2 matchups had 221 and 214 points.

All 4 of Minnesota’s games since the March 3 loss have had totals of 217 or more.

Three of the Clippers’ 4 games since then have surpassed this game’s projection.

BET OVER 215.5 (-105).
