Timberwolves vs. Clippers Odds & Betting Predictions - February 13, 2024

The Timberwolves visit the Clippers for a showdown between teams at the top of the Western Conference. One matchup I’m looking is in the paint between Gobert and Zubac. Gobert has absolutely dominated Ivica Zubac throughout his career but especially since 2021. In 9 games, Gobert is averaging 15.9 points and 14.9 rebounds per game with some massive rebounding numbers. Those 9 games are bookend with 7 and 9 rebounds, but the middle 7 have totals of 20, 15, 17, 16, 16, 13, and 21. This doesn’t get better with Daniel Theis or Mason Plumlee either, and Gobert just recorded an 18 rebound game when Zubac missed on January 14th. This is a great matchup for Gobert, he has a clear rebounding advantage and the history to back it up. None of ZUbac, Theis, or Plumlee is a threat to stretch the floor and that will keep Gobert tied to the paint. I fully expect Gobert to exceed his 12.5 Rebounds line and would play some alts.
