Minnesota Timberwolves (3-2) versus Dallas Mavericks (1-3) is a Western Conference clash in the Emirates NBA Cup group stage on Friday night at Target Center. The Timberwolves will arrive at this game having lost two straight games, leaving them eighth in the conference. Their latest assignment was against the Warriors, which they lost 114-119 at home despite Jonathan Kuminga and Jayden McDaniels scoring 20 and 19 points, respectively. Still, they’re the -254 betting favorites tonight.
Like the Timberwolves, the Clippers are also trying to find their groove this season. They opened the regular season with a commanding 121-96 win at home over the Kings. However, they’ve been exposed lately after losing to the Thunder and the Lakers (twice). Their offense struggled to create opportunities against the Lakers on Wednesday night after losing 87-103. It’s clear that they lack that “X-factor” in offense following the massive offseason overhaul that saw Kawhi Leonard traded to Toronto. They’re the +210 underdogs tonight.

Our Minnesota Timberwolves vs LA Clippers Prediction
We’re backing the Wolves to win because they’ve initially dominated this matchup. They’re 10-4 in their last 14 clashes with the Clippers and 3-1 at the Target Center. This game gives them an opportunity to recover from their recent slump, especially considering LA’s unimpressive numbers on the road. Another reason why we think the Timberwolves will win and cover the -3.5 spread is LA’s offensive struggles. To make it worse for the visitors, Brandon Ingram, who joined from Toronto, is out with an Achilles injury. Brandley Beal, Max Strus, and Jordan Miller are also out. However, the Wolves will also be without their talisman, Anthony Edwards, who is out for two months with a knee injury. Still, they should find a way to defeat the uninspiring Clippers.
Our prediction for Minnesota Timberwolves vs LA Clippers: Timberwolves on the -3.5 handicap.
