Season Record
Clippers: 3-4 (Western Conference)
Timberwolves: 3-4 (Western Conference)
The Clippers are in eternal waiting for their best player Kawhi Leonard, Paul George is expected to hold down the fort. The problem is “momentum”. While any franchise is waiting for their best player to fill out their roster… they are going to lose. The Clippers are on a two-game win streak.. The Wolves are on a three-game losing streak… none of that matters because they have the same record. When it comes to a single game, you have to stride past the entertainment purposes and make some money on these types of contests.

Clippers vs Timberwolves Preview and Analysis.
RECENT FORM
Offensive Analysis
The Clippers are tied for 19th in the NBA on offense. They score 103.6 ppg. They get offensive rebounds at 21.5% rate. Their effective field goal percentage is 54.1. They are struggling without their best player. When Kawhi gets back we might discover Paul George was the best player all along, but ces’ la Vie.
The Timberwolves are one spot below the Clippers in offensive ranking… they are also tied at 19th and they score .02 ppg less at 103.4. The Wolves effective field goal percentage is 49.3… that is bad. That means someone on the roster can’t hit free throws and someone else on the team shhotts too much… still they are close to the Clippers.
Los Angeles Clippers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
Our prediction for Monday, November 5th is… Clippers 121 - Timberwolves 110
This will be the ending because Patrick Beverley is an emotional player. He left the Clippers under a shroud of “we dislike you”... Patrick (who is great by the way) will try hard to beat them. The result will be like the time he tried too hard to stop Damien Lilliard… he will miss shots and get fouls.
