Big Time Showdown: Los Angeles Clippers vs Minnesota Timberwolves preview, predictions, injury report and TV info
NBATuesday, 12 March 2024 at 23:05
Seven games for this NBA Tuesday, and probably the main event for tonight will be the match between the Minnesota Timberwolves facing the Los Angeles Clippers. Injuries are playing a big part in this final stretch of the NBA season, Karl-Anthony Towns for Minnesota is ruled out and Paul George and Kawhi Leonard both are listed as questionable. Anthony Edwards will be the main guy for the Wolves and LA will rely on James Harden's skills.
The Timberwolves, as visitors, come into the game in 3rd place in the West with a 44-21 record after losing their last two games. The loss of Karl-Anthony Towns is taking its toll on a team that had been at the top of their conference standings for almost the entire season.
On the other side, the Clippers will face the challenge of competing against one of the best teams in the NBA, likely without their two stars. Both George and Leonard are questionable for a crucial game. The LA franchise is immediately below Minnesota in the West with a 41-22 record. The outcome of this game could be key to the future playoffs.
Experts' predictions (Possible starting lineups and winner)
The main predictions for tonight's game place the Los Angeles Clippers as favorites to win. Playing at home and with the presence of their two main stars as a slight possibility, the Clippers can continue to make a strong case in the Western Conferene.
In addition, the potential starters will be (if Kawhi and George do not play):
- Clippers: James Harden, Terance Mann, Amir Coffey, PJ Tucker, Ivicia Zubac.
- Timberwolves: Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Jaden McDaniels, Rudy Gobert.
