On the longest losing spree across both the conferences, Minnesota Timberwolves will be quietly prepared to take that tally upto 14 defeats when they face off against LA Clippers today. This is a foregone conclusion, a the where Minnesota will be left miffed as the Clippers blow them apart and wipe the floor and walk all over them.
In 14th position in the Western Conference, Minnesota Timberwolves are making a foray into the fray of today’s meeting having defeated 127-120 by Atlanta Hawks the last time around. And with LA Clippers on a three game winning spree after defeating Miami Heat 128-111 the last time around, today’s hosts will do nothing else but serve the purpose of mere pushovers.
For the Clippers this is an encounter where they’ll further consolidate on second spot in the conference. With Denver Nuggets snapping at their heels, the Clippers know they don’t just need to accrue a win today but wipe the floor with Minnesota with a thumping win for them doing massive justice to their aspirations of embarking on a spot in the echelons of the Western Conference.
Probable Winner
LA Clippers won’t just win this one but should manage to canter their way to a win on the day. This will be a canter on the court for them with the side comprehensively dismantling and decimating a harrowing Minnesota outfit.

Dream 11 Picks
Point Guard
With Patrick Beverly out injured for LA Clippers, Lou Shamet becomes a must have player for this game. At a mere 7 credits, the point guard will be traversing his way past a languid defence with ease to lay down a slew of layups and alley-oops for his side on the day.
Elsewhere, we are opting for the one pick from the opposition as well with Evan Turner being brought in by us for this fixture.
Shooting Guard
Although Malik Beasley will only feature as a substitute for the home setup today, the shooting guard will still be our pick for this one. At a time when his side were riddled with injuries, the player stepped upto the mantle to up the ante and compensate for the dearth of attacking selections.
Small Forward
His 27 ppg and the 7.5rpb see us make Kawhi Leonard an instant pick from LA Clippers for this fixture. He’s their leading scorer, someone whose scrimmages on the court have seen him pull off both quick break points and floating jump points for his team in tranquil manner this season.
Paul George comes in as well from the side, a player who has pulled off a slew of treys and opened up the zone for himself both outside the circle and midrange region for his side.
Power Forward
Jamychal Green is being instilled in our setup from the visiting side in this ambit. The player has been lauded for the slurry of points he’s dropped this season, a reliable and flawless player who has pulled off ample points for his side courtesy of his free throws and high conversion rate when it comes to laying down three pointers.
Centre
Karl-Anthony Towns has had to do it all for Minnesota Timberwolves this term. He’s not only the side’s top scorer with 26.7 ppg and 4.2 apg but is their most sublime defender as well with the 0.8 rebounds per game, a player who has emerged as the mainstay of ther gameplan across both dockets.
On the other hands, the Clippers are going to be represented by the one player as well with their centre Ivica Zubac being brought in by us for this one.
Star Player
Leonard will be our star player for the fixture.
