3-Pointers: Timberwolves vs Clippers Game Analysis
On Wednesday, March 11, the Minnesota Timberwolves will visit LA to take on the Clippers. LA ranks a little better than the Wolves on defense, but offensively, there isn’t much comparison. The Wolves are ranked 4th in the NBA, averaging 119 PPG, while the Clippers are ranked 26th, averaging 112 PPG. Let’s see which team has a better chance of winning in this Timberwolves vs Clippers prediction at PayPerHead.
However, the Wolves have been allowing a high percentage of 3-pointers lately. If shooters like Kawhi Leonard (27.9 PPG) can capitalize on that, they have a chance.
Minnesota Timberwolves Recent Scores
Overall, the Wolves are more comfortable at home, winning 22 and losing 12. On the road, they’ve won 18 and lost 12. But their most recent home game against the Magic on Saturday, March 7, was a miserable loss: 119-92. Anthony Edwards recorded a team-high of 34 points, with 5 three-pointers, but it didn’t inspire his teammates enough.
They were on the road in LA last night, taking on the Lakers. They won the first quarter but lost the next two. The Wolves tried to catch up in the 4th, but it wasn’t enough. The Lakers overtook them in the Western Conference with a 120-106 win.
Los Angeles Clippers Recent Scores
The Clippers have won their last two games, but only 6 of their last 10 games. They’re on a roll. Their most recent win was against the 3rd-place Knicks on March 9. The 8th-place Clippers defeated the Knicks 126-118, with Kawhi Leonard dropping a team-high 29 points, while teammate Bennedict Mathurin added 28 points. New York’s Karl-Anthony Towns posted 35 points, while Jalen Brunson tallied 28 points.
Their other win came against the Grizzlies on March 7. It was close: 123-120.

Timberwolves vs Clippers History
This matchup marks the final game between these two teams this year. They’ve already met three times:
- December 6, 2025 – The Timberwolves won 109-106 at home, with Jaden McDaniels adding 27 points for the Wolves and James Harden contributing 34 for the Clippers
- February 8, 2026 – The Clippers took it to the Wolves 115-96 in Minneapolis. Kawhi Leonard did a masterclass, dropping 41 points and 8 rebounds for LA. Anthony Edwards could only reply with 23 for Minnesota.
- February 26, 2026 – Moving to LA, the Wolves once again beat the Clippers 94-88 in a low-scoring matchup. Anthony Edwards redeemed himself with 31 points as the Clippers were short-handed.
The Clippers will do their best to even out the series.
2 Wins/2 Losses: Timberwolves vs Clippers Prediction
The Wolves have no injuries to report, but the Clippers have Bradley Beal out with a hip fracture, John Collins is day-to-day with neck soreness, and Yanic Konan Niederhauser has a foot injury.
The Clippers have two wins under their belt, got a day off, and are playing at home. The Wolves are on the road, playing back-to-back games, and have a 2-game losing streak. Momentum says that the Clippers are on the upswing while the Wolves are on a slide, but I wouldn’t count the Wolves out yet.
The Clippers are predicted to win by -1.5 and have a low Total of 226 (due to their recent low-scoring contest). We predict that the Wolves will find a way to overcome their recent losses and surge ahead of the Clippers 118-113 to surprise the critics.
