Minnesota is home from a disastrous 0-4 road trip. Maybe it?s because of their multiple injuries, which have zapped morale and confidence, but the Timberwolves have stopped playing defense. They have surrendered at least 102 points during each of their past six games. Minnesota is allowing 104.9 points during its past nine games and ranks last this month in defensive field goal percentage.
The Clippers have the offense and depth to take full advantage even if Chris Paul doesn?t play. The Clippers rank seventh in scoring averaging 102.1 points a game and are fourth in field goal percentage. Eric Bledsoe has done a nice job filling in for Paul, who has been out with a knee injury.

The Clippers are one of the deepest teams in the league. The Timberwolves are short-handed due to injuries and illness. Minnesota practiced with just eight healthy bodies on Wednesday having to force their two assistant coaches to suit up in order to go 5-on-5.
It?s tempting to also play the Clippers, too, in this matchup. But the Clippers are in a flat spot having won the first two games of their current three-game road swing with impressive victories against much tougher foes Houston and Memphis. The Clippers knocked off those two opponents by a combined 34 points. So it?s going to be difficult for the Clippers to take the short-handed Timberwolves fully serious even though this game is on national television.
It can?t be too fun for Los Angeles to be in Minneapolis in mid-January so the Clippers? full defensive concentration might not be there. It?s the Clippers? third game in four days while the Timberwolves last played on Monday. Minnesota also has won seven of its last nine home contests.
