Play-in excitement in the West!
The NBA play-in tournament faces the 7th standing Minnesota Timberwolves and the 8th standing LA Clippers. The winners in this Western Conference duel will face the second-best team from the West in the playoff’s first round (the Memphis Grizzlies). The defeated squad, oppositely, will have a second chance against the winners in the play-in match between the New Orleans Pelicans and the San Antonio Spurs. Well, the better team in that encounter will have a chance to play against the best staging team in the Conference, the Phoenix Suns. So you must tune in and see what’s going to be happening in these dramatic clashes.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are a very competitive team, no doubt about it. But in the last miles of the regular season, they didn’t show impressive performances. Namely, the Timberwolves lost 6 games out of their last 10 duels. Their last successful displays were against the Mavericks (116:95), the Nuggets (130:136), the Rockets (132:139), and the Spurs (127:121). Unfortunately, they lost the last match of the regular season against the Bulls with a final score of 120:124. But this should not mean that they won’t bring their best tonight. So since they won the last head-to-head match against the Clippers (104:122), the Timberwolves will definitely step in with great determination and go for the victory in Minneapolis.
The Los Angeles Clippers on the other hand didn’t look very promising this season. But they turned their fortune around at the very end of the campaign. Well, after losing to the Bulls (135:130 after overtime), the Clippers won their last 5 duels. They started the winning streak against the Bucks (119:153), then they managed to win against the Pelicans (119:100), the Suns (113:109), the Kings (117:98), and their last victim were the OKC Thunder (138:88). This means that the Clippers are in great form at the moment, ready to surprise many rivals in the playoffs. So tonight they will definitely continue with their excellent playing rhythm, and decisively go for the victory.
We are expecting a very dynamic basketball display tonight, with lots of exciting moves on the court in Minnesota. The slight favorite for the victory will be the LA Clippers because of their excellent shape.
Our prediction: Market (OVERTIME YES/NO) Tip: YES
