LA Clippers vs Minnesota Timberwolves 1/6/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

The LA Clippers will go against the Minnesota Timberwolves in NBA action in Target Center, MN, on Friday, January 6, 2023, at 9:00 PM ET.

On Monday, the Clippers suffered their third consecutive defeat as Paul George played just 5 minutes in the fourth quarter due to a hamstring injury, and Kawhi Leonard missed the game due to a non-COVID-19 sickness.

The injury is in the same region where George previously tore his hamstring, making him questionable for Thursday’s game against Denver.

From late November to early December, he missed seven matches as a result of that setback. The Clippers appeared to be regaining their health, but it was short-lived.

While forward Nic Batum (ankle) is doubtful to play on Thursday and potentially Friday, Leonard is likely to play on that day.

On 46.6 percent of its shots, including 37.6 percent from distance, Los Angeles scores 109.5 points. Their schedule-adjusted offensive rating is 29th in the league and its effective field goal percentage (54.1%) is 16th.

The Clippers are also 28th in the ratio of assists to turnovers (1.47). Los Angeles surrenders 109.4 points on a 45.7 percent shooting effort, including a 34.0 percent three-point shooting percentage.

Its opponents’ effective field goal percentage (52.2%) is the third-lowest in the league, and its schedule-adjusted defensive rating is the fifth-best.

The Los Angeles Clippers are 3-2 in their last 5 matches against the spread.
The LA Clippers are 11-9 in their road matches against the spread.
The totals went OVER in 3 of the Clippers’ last 5 matches.

LA Clippers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Predictions 1/6/2023

Minnesota made some waves this week by defeating Portland and Denver back-to-back. In addition to his previous impressive performance, Anthony Edwards scored 32 points, including 13 in the fourth quarter.

The Timberwolves received a boost from Luka Garza (14 points) and Rudy Gobert (17 points and 12 rebounds). However, Minnesota’s defense was what gave it the advantage.

In both of their last two games, the Timberwolves had fast starts, but they had trouble holding onto their leads.

However, they managed to hang on and win, ending a six-game losing streak. Minnesota now seeks to regain the consistency it was missing all season.

The T-Wolves produce 114.6 points on 49.0 percent shooting, including 34.2 percent from the long-range, which is the third-highest percentage.

Its effective field goal percentage (55.4%) ranks eighth, and its schedule-adjusted offensive rating is 19th. In comparison to its opponents, Minnesota averages 41.9 rebounds per game.

The Timberwolves surrender 115.5 points per contest while shooting 46.0 percent overall and 36.7 percent from the long-range.

Their opponents’ effective field goal percentage (53.7%) ranks 12th, while their schedule-modified defensive rating is 20th. The T-Wolves rank 23rd in the ratio of assists to turnovers (1.61).

The Minnesota Timberwolves are 3-2 in their last 5 matches against the spread.
Minnesota is 7-12 in their road matches against the spread.
The totals went OVER in 3 of the Timberwolves’ last 5 matches.

LA Clippers vs Minnesota Timberwolves. The NBA pick for this game is the Minnesota Timberwolves. Paul George and Kawhi Leonard accompanied the team on a two-game road trip to Minnesota and Denver.

Leonard will be eligible to play on Thursday, but he probably won’t play in the second match of a back-to-back on Friday.

Although the fact that George is on the road trip is encouraging, his health for Friday’s game should be closely watched before tip-off.

The Clippers are a formidable force when both of its studs are on the court. However, the Clippers are a difficult team to bet on, especially given the T-Wolves’ recent performances, with one or potentially both out against Minnesota, in addition to Batum.

Edwards is improving and might help Minnesota stay afloat for the time being. The Minnesota Timberwolves will win to a predicted score of 113-107.
