LiontipsClippers vs. Minnesota. Prediction and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Clippers put up a great performance in the most recent match. Two days ago, Tyronn Lue's men managed to beat the leader of the Eastern conference - the Boston Celtics. Paul George and Kawhi Leonard completely destroyed Boston's defense. The Clippers secured a 113:93 victory.
That win became the second one in a row for the Celtics. Tyronn Lue's men also beat the Washington Wizards (114:107). After these victories Los Angeles team rose to the 6th spot in the Western conference standings.
Minnesota Timberwolves are still playing without Karl Anthony Towns. Absence of team's leader didn't affect the Wolves' performance. Team still lacks consistency. In two latest matches Minneapolis team suffered two defeats to Portland.
A trip to Los Angeles won't be an easy one for Minnesota. Chris Finch's men will probably play without D'Angelo Russell. Point guard is currently injuried.
