Clippers vs Timberwolves best bet: Timberwolves -9 (-110)

The Minnesota Timberwolves needed a jolt, and they’re hoping a deadline move provides it. Minnesota is just 1–2 in February and 0–3 against the spread, despite facing a weak slate. The losses came against Memphis, New Orleans, and the lone win was a narrow two-point escape over fifth-place Toronto. 

That uneven stretch followed a strong finish to January, when the Wolves closed the month on a four-game winning streak, both straight up and ATS.

With a tougher slate looming in March, failing to capitalize now could leave the Timberwolves battling just to avoid the play-in tournament.

The Los Angeles Clippers, meanwhile, appear comfortable heading in the opposite direction. After a surprising 17–4 run, Los Angeles dismantled what had become a competitive roster, trading away 25-point scorer James Harden and 14-point-per-game center Ivica Zubac in separate deals. 

The key return was Darius Garland, who is currently sidelined with a toe injury, leaving the Clippers clearly prioritizing the future over a playoff push.

Take the T-Wolves to cover today.

In addition to losing two leading scorers, the Clippers also traded away the team’s rebounding leader. John Collins should be able to keep alive his streak of four straight games with seven or more rebounds.
