My Clippers vs. Timberwolves predictions and NBA picks reflect that, calling for a Minnesota cover on Sunday, February 8.
Clippers vs Timberwolves prediction
Clippers vs Timberwolves best bet: Timberwolves -9 (-110)
The Minnesota Timberwolves needed a jolt, and they’re hoping a deadline move provides it. Minnesota is just 1–2 in February and 0–3 against the spread, despite facing a weak slate. The losses came against Memphis, New Orleans, and the lone win was a narrow two-point escape over fifth-place Toronto.
That uneven stretch followed a strong finish to January, when the Wolves closed the month on a four-game winning streak, both straight up and ATS.
With a tougher slate looming in March, failing to capitalize now could leave the Timberwolves battling just to avoid the play-in tournament.
The Los Angeles Clippers, meanwhile, appear comfortable heading in the opposite direction. After a surprising 17–4 run, Los Angeles dismantled what had become a competitive roster, trading away 25-point scorer James Harden and 14-point-per-game center Ivica Zubac in separate deals.
The key return was Darius Garland, who is currently sidelined with a toe injury, leaving the Clippers clearly prioritizing the future over a playoff push.
Take the T-Wolves to cover today.
