The Minnesota Timberwolves understand that they are closer than ever to making the playoffs. The team has done all they can and more to be among the best right now. The match will be played in the Timberwolves’ home arena, which increases the chances of success.
The Clippers have turned into a real predator and all they have been doing lately is scoring wins. Tyronn Lue’s team is in great form, and with Paul George’s return to the floor, they have become even more confident. In our opinion, the visitors will put up a good fight.
It seems as though the opponents will not feel sorry for each other, as a playoff berth is on the line.
The Timberwolves have scored more than 119.5 points in four of their last five games.

The Timberwolves are having one of their best seasons in the last couple of years. The team is attacking well and generally has a good chance of making the playoffs. Finally, the connection between Karl Anthony Towns and Russell D’Angelo is working, plus it’s worth noting the noticeable progress in Anthony Edwards’ game.
The Wolves come into their game against the Clippers after a (120-124) loss from the Chicago Bulls. Of course, that game didn’t decide anything anymore, but Chris Finch’s guys performed more than decently. Now the club’s goal is to make the playoffs, although the meeting with the Clippers does not promise an easy walk even on their home court.
In the last game of the regular season against the Bulls, Nathan Knight scored 17 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.

The Clippers had to work hard to stay afloat. The team had been without their leader Kawhi Leonard for a long time and then Paul George was injured. The 31-year-old forward returned to the court the day before and is showing a good game. He is the one Tyronn Lue will be relying on as a leader.
The Clippers have won five straight, which means the team is in good shape and ready for any kind of challenge. We can say that Paul George’s effect has worked since the team now has a true leader. The club from Los Angeles understands that there is no room for error now.
In the last game of the regular season against the Thunder, Amir Coffey scored 35 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists.
