The Minnesota Timberwolves had high hopes coming into the year, but it has been a disastrous year for them so far as they are just 14-35 overall (Pending the game vs the Lakers), including 7-17 on the road. They have lost 15 of their last 17 games and are firmly entrenched in last place in the Northwest Division, 22.5 games behind the Oklahoma City Thunder. This is a bad team, but they are also still a young team and they will just look for improvements down the stretch of the season. The T-Wolves have not been a good offensive team as they come in at 22nd in scoring, putting up just 99.4 ppg and on 45.3% shooting, which is a decent 11th in the league. On defense they haven’t been that good either, ranking 22nd in points allowed (103.4 ppg) and 25th in defensive FG% (46.4%).
The Los Angeles Clippers come in at 32-16 overall, including 17-7 at home. That is a very solid start for this team, which is expected to compete for the Western Title. The Clipps have won their last 4 games and come in off a 27 point home win over the Bulls on Sunday. They are still without Blake Griffin (Out Til March), who leads the team in scoring with 23.2 ppg, while they still have Chris Paul, who is 2nd on the team in scoring at 18.8 ppg. Offense is the name of the game for this team as they come in at 7th in the league in scoring, putting up 104.3 ppg, while hitting 46.2% of their shots, which is 4th in the league. On defense they have been solid as they rank 9th in points allowed, giving up just 103.3 ppg, while allowing teams to hit just 43.7% of their shots, which is 7th.

[522) Los Angeles Clippers -11
Bad spot here for the T-Wolves as they are playing on no rest vs a team that hasn’t played since Sunday and is hot as they have won their last four games, including a 27 point home destruction of Chicago on Sunday. The Clippers have one of the best offenses in the league, but now they are playing defense as well as they have allowed just 89.5 ppg in their last four games. This will be a very dangerous team they rest of the year if they keep playing defense like that. The T-Wolves have played little defense this year, especially of late as they have allowed 108+ points in their last 6 games. The T-Wolves are just 1-4 ATS their last 5 games playing on no rest, while the Clippers are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. THis one has blowout written all over it.
