LiontipsClippers - Minnesota. Predictions & Betting for the NBA game
Command Analysis
Kawai Leonard and Serge Ibaka are both out for the Clippers. Due to their injuries, these players will not be able to assist their squad in the immediate future. They were, by the way, woefully inadequate in the most recent match against Philadelphia, where the «sailboats» lost 103-106. Paul George found it impossible to tackle an enemy alone, no matter how hard he tried.
Tyrone Lew's team's standings were unaffected by their most recent loss. The Clippers remain in third place in the Western Conference, three wins clear of fourth-placed Denver.
Minnesotahas long since lost all hope of making the postseason and is now focused only on completing the regular season. This does not, though, preclude the «wolves» from putting on a good display on occasion. For eg, they won two games in the last week, defeating Chicago (121-117) and Miami (121-117). (119-111).
Despite recent victories, the Timberwolves are struggling on the road. On the other hand, Minnesota does horribly on other people's websites. This team, for example, has lost its last six road games.
Trends
On average, the "sailboats" score 116.8 points at home
Andrew is averaging 18 points per game
On average, the Spaniard collects 3.2 rebounds per match
Tip and bets
The Clippers aren't playing as well as they used to without Kawai Leonard. The «sailboats'» success has dipped somewhat, so don't expect a spectacular display from them. Los Angeles' squad would most likely play pragmatically and rationally. Much of this could culminate in a grassroots gathering.
In BC Winline, we predict a total of less than 234.5 points and a coefficient of 1.89.
Leonard's absence would weaken the «sailboats» a bit. This will almost certainly be exploited by the visitors. The Clippers' recent victories haven't been compelling, so we doubt they'll be able to pull off an easy victory. We recommend paying attention to the guests' good launch.
The second prediction is a Minnesota (+10.5) point handicap with a coefficient of 1.65.
