The Los Angeles Clippers are ready to move past a hectic weekend as they prepare to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday. Despite enduring a team flight scare and losing a historic NBA game on Friday, the Clippers put up a strong fight against the top team in the Western Conference on Sunday, only to fall short once again. So can they come up with a win on homecourt tonight?
Well lets start off with the injury report, Minnesota will be without Karl-Anthony Towns though Rudy Gobert is probable for tonight as he returns from an illness. As for the Clippers, Ivica Zubac is questionable to return due to a strained right calf.
The last two times these teams met this year, the favorite has always covered the spread playing on homecourt. With the Clippers going into Tuesday game with practically a healthy lineup, I could see them getting this win versus the Timberwolves.
A win good enough to cover the spread at -6.5 points which I will be taking for my free pick of the day.
