Rasual Butler looks for more high fives against the struggling Minnesota Timberwolves

The Timberwolves are putting up 88.8 points per game, and their defense is allowing 103.6 points per game. On offense in the Clippers are scoring 96.9 points per game, and their defense is allowing 100.6 PPG. The Clippers are shooting 47% field goals, to Minnesota’s 42.6%. For three-pointers in the Timberwolves are only shooting 26.5% to the Clippers 32.2%. The mathematical prediction for this game is the Clippers 101 Minnesota 95. Can the Clippers win by six points, bet the home favorite LA Clippers at -5.5

The Timberwolves have lost 12 in a row with the majority of the games being lost by more than double digits. The only when they have this season, was in week one against New Jersey. Kevin Love will still be out for a couple weeks. The Timberwolves have consistently made other teams stats shine, as last week six players were in double digits, when Portland defeated Minnesota 106-78.”We’re not secure as a team, we’re not together as a team, we don’t have enough experience as a team that whenever we get into those tight situations, we know what to do,” said T’Wolves head coach Kurt Rambis.

On the other hand, you’ve got the Clippers are coming off a great victory over Denver 106-99. Rasual Butler had a season-high 27 points. “We knew they were going to make a run and we were able to re-focus. I just wanted to come out and give us some energy off the bench,” Butler said.

The previous matchup earlier this month resulted in a 93-90 win for the Clippers at Staples Center. Will history repeat itself? Bet the Timberwolves to cover the plus 5.5 point spread

Prediction the Clippers looked to be heading in the right direction, while the Timberwolves do not. The Timberwolves should lose his game in double figures again, and again should go over as the Clippers will put up over 100.
