Nightly NBA player props: Clippers vs. Timberwolves, Nov 3

Detailing the best player props to consider for tonight’s Clippers vs. Timberwolves game.

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.

Prediction

Clippers 123, Timberwolves 107

Moneyline (ML)

The Clippers (-625) will cost you more than six times your potential return on investment. That’s just way too expensive, even if L.A. is a near-certainly to top the Timberwolves (+425). AVOID.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

These two teams have something in common — they each lost to the Sacramento Kings in their most recent outing. The CLIPPERS (-10.5, -106) should bounce back against the lowly Timberwolves (+10.5, -115), a team reeling after blowing a 17-point lead in the final three minutes against Sacramento, being forced to overtime on a controversial bucket at the buzzer that should have counted, and then losing a rough one.

The T-Wolves are just 8-20-1 ATS over their past 29 games overall, and 0-4 ATS in their last four against winning teams. While the Clips are 1-5 ATS in the past six against teams with a winning percentage under .400, they’re 22-7 ATS in the past 29 after a straight-up loss.

Over/Under (O/U)

As of 9:30 a.m. ET, the over/under for this game has not been posted. However, the approach to this bet should remain the same regardless of the posted total: the over is the play as long as Leonard is in the lineup. If he is held out of action — and he could potentially sit with a weak opponent on the schedule — then the under would be the lean. The Over is 12-3 in the last 15 meetings at Staples, and 7-1 in the previous eight battles overall.
