The current betting odds have the Clippers listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Clippers have looked really good in their games this season with their 35-16 record overall which has them right near the top of the West with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They are coming off a win against the Pistons in their last one and they have looked great on their home court all season with their 20-5 home record. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves have also looked really good in their games this season with their 36-16 record overall which has them at the top of the West right now with one of the best records in the entire NBA too. They have also been a good road team this season with their 17-11 road record but haven't been at their best in those games. They are coming off a nice win against the Bucks in their last game but the Bucks have also struggled a lot since hiring Doc Rivers as their head coach and the Timberwolves haven't been that great lately with their 6-4 record in their last 10 games. The Clippers have been much hotter as they are 8-2 over their last 10 games and they will be looking to pull off a statement win here at home since this game will have some big implications in the standings for the number 1 seed in the West. The Timberwolves have been a really consistent team in the West this season but the Clippers have been really hot lately and have been the better team over the last 2 weeks. The best way to place a bet here is on the Clippers to cover the spread in this game.
