Paul George is doing his best to carry the Clippers while Serge Ibaka and Marcus Morris try to work their way back from injury. George is averaging nearly 29 points per game on 51% shooting, one of the better scoring stat lines around the league so far this season. However, the Clippers have been inconsistent as their try to find their footing without Kawhi Leonard, but they have won their last two contests including a win over the Timberwolves on Wednesday. If the Clippers can replicate their offensive performance from Wednesday on Friday night, they'll have a good shot to cover and win vs. the Timberwolves.

Why The Timberwolves Can Cover The Spread

Los Angeles beat the Timberwolves on Wednesday, and have been slightly better overall than Minnesota so far this season. The Timberwolves are 2-4 on their home floor this season, already having lost to the Clippers there earlier this week. Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards make for an exciting duo, but it hasn't translated to wins so far in this young season.

The Wolves will need to improve defensively if they want to win on Friday, as they gave up 126 points to the Clippers on Wednesday. The Timberwolves will have a good chance to cover and win on Friday if they can play better defense and keep the Clippers in check from the three-point line.

Final Clippers-Timberwolves Prediction & Pick

Take the Timberwolves to bounce back and get a win vs. the Clippers on Friday. Los Angeles should not have an answer for Karl-Anthony Towns inside, so if they can pick up their defensive effort and communication they should be able to get back in the win column on their home floor come Friday night.

FINAL CLIPPERS-TIMBERWOLVES PREDICTION & PICK: Timberwolves +2.5 (-110)
