Minnesota Timberwolves vs Los Angeles Clippers Odds
Minnesota Timberwolves Team News
The Minnesota Timberwolves easily defeated the Portland Trailblazers 116:93 in the opening game before this duel, in a game dominated by Rudy Gobert with 24 points and 17 rebounds, while Karl-Anthony Towns added 23 points. Thus, the Minnesota Timberwolves remained in the first place of the Western Conference with a score of 27-11, although they are in a slightly worse shape due to four losses in the last seven meetings.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have formed a great team after several years in which they failed to be an important factor in the playoffs. Time will tell if the situation will change this season, but for now everything is heading in that direction. Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert are the most responsible for that. Karl-Anthony Towns needed support, but it was clear that he could not carry the entire team on his own. Anthony Edwards plays great and after a very good FIBA World Cup, he continued in the same rhythm and is unstoppable. The whole story is complemented by Rudy Gobert, so it can be said that the Minnesota Timberwolves represent a superbly balanced team.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are defensively the best team in the league, while there is still room for improvement in the offense. This defense will be the most important factor in the next match, in which this team must not allow Kawhi Leonard and Paul George to get into a rhythm.
Los Angeles Clippers Team News
The Los Angeles Clippers are currently in fourth place in the Western Conference with a score of 25-13, and in the prelude to this duel, they beat the Memphis Grizzlies 128:119, in a game in which Paul George scored 37 points and Kawhi Leonard scored 22.
The Los Angeles Clippers have been considered one of the main favorites to win the NBA title for years, but injuries have mostly prevented them from doing so every season. Because of this, this team cannot establish the necessary continuity, both in matches and in training, which is probably even more important. In the course of the season so far, there have not been many problems with injuries, it is positive that Kawhi Leonard is back and playing at a satisfactory level. This summer, James Harde arrived at the Los Angeles Clippers and fit in correctly, as well as Russell Westbrook, who has been with the team even longer and seems to have found the right role.
The Los Angeles Clippers have quality both offensively and defensively, and their biggest problem is rebounding. This team allows opponents a large number of offensive rebounds, which should not happen in the next game against a team that will know how to use it.
