Injuries and the toll of a long season are going to cause the Clippers to probably miss the playoffs.
LA has lost three in a row and looked extremely fatigued in a 122-109 home loss to the Trail Blazers this past Sunday. Now the Clippers are playing for the fourth time in six days - all at different venues.
The Clippers are minus their two best backcourt defenders, Patrick Beverley and Avery Bradley. Both are out for the season. Sharpshooter Danilo Gallinari is sidelined, too.
Minnesota is trying to make the Western Conference playoffs, too, and is very strong at home going 26-9 at Target Center.
The Timberwolves have defeated the Clippers the past five times. They are 2-0 versus LA this season with both victories coming at Staples Center by an averaging winning margin of seven points.
