Timberwolves vs. Clippers: Public Bettors Backing Underdog
Our NBA Public Betting Information page indicates that 53% of public bettors are currently backing the Timberwolves when it comes to the spread. This information is subject to change throughout the day, however, so be sure to check the link so you’re receiving the most up-to-date public betting data.
Edwards Questionable to face Clippers
Anthony Edwards (left ankle soreness) and Monte Morris (left hamstring strain) are both questionable to play against the Clippers on Tuesday. Edwards played 40 minutes against the Lakers on Sunday despite the ankle injury, but if he ends up missing Tuesday’s game, Nickeil Alexander-Walker should start in his place and supply some defensive stats. Morris has missed their last two games, which has resulted in extra minutes for Jordan McLaughlin. However, if Morris returns for this game, McLaughlin will likely be pushed out of the rotation.
Leonard & Paul Questionable
Kawhi Leonard (left groin soreness) and Paul George (left knee soreness) are questionable to play against Minnesota on Tuesday. The Clippers’ star forwards sat out on Sunday, which was the second leg of a back-to-back. They have a chance to remain sidelined on Tuesday, but if they are back, Amir Coffey and P.J. Tucker will be pushed back to the bench, which will eliminate any value that either player had.
