Nicolas Batum Points Prop is currently Over/Under 5.5 (-120/-110).
Key Factors
Favors Over
The Clippers rank as the 7th-most efficient 3-point shooting team in the NBA while on their home court this year.
The Clippers will likely see an increase in possessions in this game from facing the 4th-quickest pace team in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Timberwolves).
The matchup vs. Minnesota may be a favorable one for getting to the foul line; the other team's starting PFs have attempted a monstrous 6.0 foul shots per game over the last 5 games when the Timberwolves are the visiting squad (6th-most in the league).
Favors Under
This year, the opposing team's starting PFs have compiled 14.5 points per game (lowest in the NBA) against the Minnesota Timberwolves, marking this as a challenging matchup for offensive effectiveness.
The 2nd-most lethargic tempo home offense in the league this year has been the LA Clippers.
The Clippers rank as the worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 10 games with the home court advantage (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).
