On the surface before looking into this matchup I was leaning towards Minnesota. However after looking into the matchup a little I was seeing the Clippers won 3 of 4 this year, all games without Paul George and Kawhi. They have PG back for this game and the Clippers have three blowout wins against the T-Wolves this season. I have to give the nod to coaching to the Clippers as well as Ty Lue has a ring. Looking at the roster the Clippers were built to compete for the West at full strength and if Kawhi had no spent the season sitting on the bench sporting rolling 60’s gear then we would be having a conversation about if the Clippers match up with the Suns. The two meetings George played had the Clippers being led by PG and Reggie Jackson dominating the 3rd quarter in both of those first two matchups.
The T-Wolves do have three scorers and this is the young teams first look at post season play. Edwards led them in the one matchup they beat the Clippers this year, a game in which KAT was out and the Clippers lineup looked much different than it will here.
My pick Clippers +3, +130.
