Pre-match reading: Naz Reid steps up action with Karl-Anthony Towns out
Chris Hine’s Preview:
Opening bell: The Wolves conclude their two-game trip to Los Angeles and will look to avoid their first three-game losing streak of the season in their final game of the season against the Clippers. They are 2-1 against them.
Look at him: Norman Powell has hurt the Wolves in several games this season and turned the tide in their last game at Minnesota with 24 points coming off the bench.
Injuries: For the Wolves, Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is out, Rudy Gobert (right hamstring soreness) is questionable after missing Sunday’s game, Anthony Edwards (left ankle soreness) is questionable, Kyle Anderson (soreness right shoulder) is questionable after missing Sunday. and Monte Morris (left hamstring strain) is questionable after missing the last two games. For the Clippers, Russell Westbrook (hand) is out, Kawhi Leonard (groin) is questionable after missing Sunday and Paul George (knee) is questionable.
Forecast: A lot will depend on who is available for both teams. Tuesday could end up being won by the team with the most key players able to take a chance. The Wolves like the way they match up against the Clippers with their ability to guard the perimeter in isolation, but having Gobert as a safety net for the defense will be key.
