LA Clippers: news and form
The Nets once again lost the game in the last quarter. This time, it was the Clippers who reaped the rewards of Brooklyn’s loss of focus late in the game. The Clippers were led by seven units at the start of the fourth quarter and, to their great merit, they made a comeback in the last quarter to win (120-116). Without their stars Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, Bledsoe scored 27 points while Jackson and Mann scored 19 points each. Indeed, the many absences of the Clippers really showed the strength of their rosters with these three players who took over. Even though Zubac, Batum and Boston are missing, the Clippers are in good hands. We think they’ll cause damage in Minnesota
Minnesota Timberwolves: News and Form
Minnesota followed its loss to Portland on Friday with another to the Los Angeles Lakers. It was the Timberwolves’ fifth loss in six games and the third in a row. Minnesota has been good since the start of the season, which is why that bad patch hasn’t affected the franchise’s standing in the Western Conference too much. Wolves are ninth, just a few wins behind the Nuggets in fifth. Unfortunately, the origin of this mishap is this damn virus. Beverley, Edwards and Vanderbilt are back, but the team’s two All-Stars, D’Angelo Russell and Karl-Anthony Towns, are sure to stay on the sidelines once again. This will make the game very difficult, although the Clippers also have a few absences.
With both teams having so many injuries, we believe the depth of the Clippers’ roster will be the deciding factor in this Los Angeles encounter. We believe the Mann-Jackson-Bledsoe trio will be in good shape and LA will win the game.

The Clippers’ absences mean that Jackson and Bledsoe (with Mann’s help) have taken control of the franchise. We think Jackson or Bledsoe, who have a lot of experience, will have a great home game against Minnesota. By the way, we think that one of the two will score more than 25 points.
