Darius Garland logged 30 minutes in his last game, scoring 23 points against the Knicks. He attempted 16 shots, nine of which came from behind the arc. In his previous game, he scored 21 points on 20 shot attempts against the Grizzlies. That included eight three-point attempts. For his career, Garland shoots 38.6% from deep. With a hefty usage rate and around 30 minutes likely coming his way again, the over is the way to go here.
The Minnesota Timberwolves hit a low point two games ago when they matched a season worst twenty seven point loss against Orlando. The offense was not there once again in last nightтАЩs loss to the Lakers where they had Rudy Gobert, Donte DiVencenzo, and Anthony Edwards struggle from the field. Even if tonightтАЩs another struggling game offensively, the Timberwolves showed just two weeks ago they can overcome that. They defeated the Clippers 94 to 88. Grab the Twolves as the underdog in a back to back spot.
DraftKings. I like this spot for Darius Garland, who is averaging 26.5 points plus assists per 30 minutes across his first four games as a Clipper. Garland should thrive against a Timberwolves team that plays the pick and roll straight up, allowing ball handlers to score at the highest rate in the NBA. Garland, who has been built up to 30 minutes, thrived in this matchup as a Cavalier, clearing this line in both games with a fully healthy roster. I like the newest Clipper to clear this line for the this straight game tonight.
