Minnesota Timberwolves vs LA Clippers Prediction
The Timberwolves are the better healtheir team but they’re also a side that plays with its food and throws in bizarre results far too often. The Clippers continue to find ways to win, and there’s a chance Collins returns for this one. We also saw the Clippers beat the Timberwolves as a huge underdog earlier this month. The Timberwolves have covered just 3 of their last 10 games and are 25-34 ATS on the season. I don’t like laying big numbers with this team and if health is on the side of the Clippers, they could win this game outright. I’ll grab the buckets with the clippers at home.
