Clippers vs. Timberwolves

Minnesota's league-leading Adjusted Defensive Rating and 48.2% Opponent Effective FG% are primed to stifle a 'reloading' Clippers squad that just traded away James Harden and Ivica Zubac, with new stars Darius Garland and Bennedict Mathurin ruled out for today's matchup. We expect a high-intensity bounce-back from the Timberwolves following Rudy Gobert’s public call for accountability after a collapse against New Orleans, further bolstered by the defensive debut of trade-deadline acquisition Ayo Dosunmu.
