Minnesota Timberwolves
Minnesota ran into a buzzsaw in the Portland Trail Blazers the last two outings. Not only did the Blazers look like a cohesive, competitive unit twice in a row at home, Damian Lillard looked part flamethrower, part alien putting up 38 and 36 points in those back-to-back outings.

LA Clippers
The Clippers are coming off one of their most impressive showings of the 2022-23 regular season. It was one of those games that makes you think this team can really contend—especially since it’s not yet 100 percent healthy.
Not only did LA pull off a 113-93 win against maybe the NBA title favorite this season Boston Celtics, but it held the Beantown roadies to fewer than 100 points for the first time all year.

Free Minnesota Timberwolves vs. LA Clippers NBA Prediction:
