Clippers vs Timberwolves Prediction
The honeymoon for the Timberwolves has ended quickly with back-to-back losses and the injury to Edwards. It makes you hesitant about laying the points. However, the Clippers have lost three straight games and scored a whopping 87 points against the Lakers. The Clippers are averaging 101.6 points during this losing streak. It’s not good enough, folks.
With Ball pushing the pace, the Timberwolves should have a field day in this spot. The Timberwolves are also 4-1 ATS on the season, for what it’s worth. Big number, but the Clippers look terrible this week. I’ll lay the number with the Timberwolves at home.
