The Los Angeles Clippers (-2.5) and Minnesota Timberwolves (+115) enter Wednesday’s matchup on a similar trajectory. Both have had a rough go at it as of late but emerged with different vibes. The Clips are breathing a sigh of relief after some Paul George late-game heroics against the Oklahoma City Thunder saved L.A. from starting the season 1-5.
Minnesota began the year 3-1 but has since dropped two in a row, losing D’Angelo Russell to an ankle injury along the way. The Wolves could use a win tonight to avoid the usual downward spiral that they’ve grown accustomed to in recent seasons. The Clips hope another win could help offset their own slow start.
We take a look at a few players and how their play might help tell the story of this game.
