LiontipsMinnesota vs Clippers. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Minnesota surprised everyone with their performance at the start of the season. Timberwolves recorded a number of victories, they even managed to beat Milwaukee (113:108). But so far Wolves' opponents were not so strong. It is not so difficult to beat New Orleans and Houston in the current season. But in recent matches Timberwolves suffered defeats to Denver (91:93) and Orlando (97:115).
Sometimes Finch's players are looking well. For example, in recent matches against Milwaukee and Denver. But a defeat to Magic is an unacceptable result.
Clippers got off to a terrible start of the season. We don't think that Kawhi Leonard's absence affected team's performance so much, in the previous season team easily recorded victories without their leader. What happened now? Tyronn Lue's players are losing to everyone and they are not scoring many points. For example, in each of four most recent matches they failed to score more than 94 points.
Despite their recent failures, Clippers managed to record a victory in the most recent match. Though it was not so difficult, because they played against Oklahoma.

Tip and bets
Clippers are unlikely to improve their scoring. They have only one star player in the line-up and it is Paul George. Other players of the team are too inconsistent.
We think that one of the opponents will fail the match. Timberwolves are way too inconsistent recently. We don't think that teams will be able to beat the total of 219 points.
Our prediction - total under 219 points
It is hard to pick a favourite of the match. Both opponents are out of form now. But we will place a bet on Minnesota. Wolves are looking better than Clippers on the offense.
Our second bet is on Minnesota to win (Including OT)
