Western Conference rivals conclude their four-game regular season series Wednesday night as the Los Angeles Clippers host the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Intuit Dome.
Minnesota (40–25, 5th West) holds a 2–1 edge in the season set, punctuated by a 94–88 road win over the Clippers on February 26. But the Timberwolves will be playing the second night of a back-to-back after suffering a lopsided loss to the Lakers on Tuesday.
Los Angeles (32–32, 8th West) has won five of its last six games since that defeat to the Wolves and is coming off Monday’s home win over the Knicks.
Tipoff is set for 10:30 p.m. ET. Los Angeles enters as a narrow 1.5-point home favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook, while Minnesota sits at -105 on the moneyline. The game total is set at 226.5 points.
Timberwolves vs. Clippers Best Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Julius Randle Under 6.5 Rebounds (-105)
Even amid a strong glass-cleaning campaign, Julius Randle has struggled to rebound against the Clippers. The former All-Star forward — who averages seven boards per game — has been held to just three rebounds in two of his three matchups with Los Angeles this season, including as recently as February 26.
To watch the Clippers play basketball is to watch grass grow. Los Angeles plays at the NBA’s third-slowest pace, limiting rebounding opportunities for opposing frontcourts. Expect the Clippers to keep Randle under 6.5 boards for the third time this season.
Kawhi Leonard Under 2.5 Threes (-133)
In his last meeting with Minnesota on February 8, Kawhi Leonard erupted for 41 points with five triples on impressive 45% accuracy. On Wednesday, the Timberwolves will do everything in their power to stop him from doing it again.
Minnesota boasts one of the top defenses in the NBA this season. It’s been particularly formidable around the perimeter, allowing the league’s fifth-fewest opponent threes per game. Leonard, who’s averaging a career-high 2.5 triples per game, was held to just two-for-four from deep during the team’s first trip to the North Star State in December.
Count on the Wolves to make the necessary adjustment against Leonard.
Anthony Edwards Most Points (+138)
Here’s a shocker: Anthony Edwards is a really good scorer. The superstar guard’s 29.3 points per game rank third in the NBA, and his 17 games with 35 or more points trail only Luka Doncic’s 23.
Back-to-backs have done little to slow Edwards down this season. In fact, his scoring has even seen a slight uptick — 0.3 PPG — across seven games with no rest.
The former first overall pick has been the leading scorer in five of his last nine games since the All-Star break, including a 31-point performance against the Clippers on February 26. While Kawhi Leonard was sidelined for that contest, Edwards has burnished a reputation for elevating his game against elite competition.
