Will Clippers Step Up to Challenge?

The Los Angeles Clippers battle the Minnesota Timberwolves at STAPLES Center on Thursday night. The game will be televised nationally on TNT at 10:30 pm. The Clipshow begin their journey to stay relevant without Chris Paul and Blake Griffin. Paul had surgery on his thumb and is out 6-8 weeks, while Griffin is almost back from knee surgery.

The 218 combined points moved the game OVER for totals bettors. Los Angeles plays 10 of its next 11 on the road. They could get Griffin back for some of that stretch. His return is being anticipated before the end of the month.
