*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, on Monday, March 11th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Tuesday, March 12th.
Minnesota Timberwolves
Even before Karl-Anthony Towns suffered the meniscus injury the Wolves were showing signs of the schedule catching up to them. They’ve lost four of their last six matches of which KAT was only out the last three (they were 1-2 in those contests).
With this stumble the Wolves have dropped to third and now trail the Thunder by 1.5 games and the Nuggets by a half-game and have played an extra game than both opponents.
Of their 17 remaining games, 11 are against teams fighting for play-in or playoff seeds including two against Phoenix and THREE versus the Nuggets.
Timberwolves Stats
Minnesota ranks tied for 18th on offense (114.2) and first defensively (108.3) while they are a plus +6.0 net differential, ranking third overall.
The Wolves are riding the middle with a 31-33-1 record against the spread through 65 matches this season.
Timberwolves Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Rudy Gobert, C (questionable —hamstring)
- Kyle Anderson, SF (questionable — shoulder)
- Karl-Anthony Towns, C (OUT indefinitely — knee)
- Monte Morris, PG (questionable — hamstring)
- Jaylen Clark, SF (OUT indefinitely—Achilles)
LA Clippers
It’s interesting how much the Clippers seem to be missing Russell Westbrook both in terms of the change of pace he brings off the bench and the sheer energy he ignites his teammates with.
LA has 19 games remaining with 13 against play-in/playoff seeded squads BUT only three of those matches (Wolves/Nuggets/Cavaliers) are against squads currently seeded in the top four slots.
Clippers Stats
LA has climbed offensively now ranking fourth (119.0), and 14th defensively (114.5) while their net differential is plus +4.5 which ranks tied for sixth in the association.
Through 63 contests the Clippers are starting to improve against the spread with a 32-31 record.
Clippers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Russell Westbrook, PG (OUT indefinitely — hand)
- Paul George, SF (questionable — knee)
- Kawhi Leonard, SF (questionable —groin)

Free Minnesota Timberwolves vs. LA Clippers NBA Prediction:
Both teams are limping into this match and each has a vested interest in winning given where they currently reside on the seeding ladder.
Anthony Edwards is delivering jaw-dropping performances every night even in losses and on missed dunks (see tweet below). But he needs more help and they could be without Anderson, Gobert, and Morris on top of KAT for this meeting facing a much deeper Clippers squad.
LA is in arguably a more precarious position because they might be without their two superstars and need this game to tie the season series. On the positive side, the Clippers trail Minny by two games but only one in the loss column with two games in hand.
Months ago I felt the West’s top quartet would finish 1) Nuggets, 2) Thunder, 3) Clippers (because they were on a tear), and 4) Wolves.
I’m back on that tangent given how difficult Minny is struggling offensively without Towns but by the same token LA needs to shake off this post-break malaise where they’ve stopped moving the ball.
The injury report feels like a bit of posturing on both sides but unless PG and Kawhi aren’t close to 100 percent my guess is at least one will play based on the importance of this contest (especially because Lue could rest both in Chicago on Thursday).
To that end, I’ll take LA to win and cover.
