Timberwolves vs. Clippers Key Player to Watch
Keaton Wagler, Guard, Clippers
Keaton Wagler has had a few days off now after sitting out the second half of a back-to-back situation on Wednesday. The fifth overall pick is averaging 15.3 points on just 34.2% shooting (35.3% from deep) with three assists and 1.7 turnovers per game.
Wagler is looking to end the NBA Summer League on a high note ahead of his rookie season.
Timberwolves vs. Clippers Prediction and Pick
Both of these teams picked up the pace in their last game, with Minnesota putting up 114 points and the Clippers scoring 108 themselves.
The Timberwolves have scored at least 101 points in all four games, and the Clippers scored 99 or more in each of their last three contests.
I’ll take the OVER tonight as these players get one last chance to show off this summer.
Pick: OVER 188.5 (-110)
