Second of a B2B for Los Angeles and even though it didn't have to travel, Norman Powell will take a seat for injury management. Folks, NORMAN POWELL is getting the second of a B2B off these days for rest. Unbelievable. The Wolves have massively disappointed in the wake of the KAT trade but are on normal rest and their defense suddenly looks like last year's No. 1 unit with back-to-back wins (including over these Clippers) and allowing just 86.0 PPG in those.

We're looking for reasons to go with the Clippers, who have won eight of ten and covered in nine, with only a loss at Boston being beyond reach. The Clips certainly could have stolen one at the Target Center last week in a 93-92 loss (but LA cover), and the offense has been in high gear in the two games since, scoring 126 vs. Denver and 127 vs. Portland during a pair of wins in Inglewood. Norman Powell, recently reactivated, scored 28 and 30, respectively, vs. the Nuggets and Blazers as he has returned in top form. Meanwhile, note the Wolves have lost four of their last five away, and LA has won eight straight at the Intuit Dome. Play Clippers
