1 Unit FREE PLAY on Clippers/Timberwolves UNDER 223.5
The Clippers don't have a point guard right now with Darius Garland out after trading James Harden for him. They are going to struggle to put up a lot of points without a true point guard until he returns. The Minnesota Timberwolves have been a rival where there have been a lot of low-scoring games in this series. The UNDER is 8-1 in the last nine meetings with 221 or fewer combined points in all nine meetings. Give me the UNDER.

Sunday's NBA Free Pick
PLAY ON: Wolves -8.5
Sean Murphy
Sunday NBA Free play. My selection is on Minnesota minus the points over Los Angeles at 3:10 pm et on Sunday.
The Timberwolves were in a tough spot on Friday as they returned home on one day of rest following a successful three-game road trip and were 'upset' by the Pelicans thanks to a second half collapse. We'll call for them to rebound on Sunday as they host the Clippers. Minnesota has now lost three games in a row ATS and that's notable as it hasn't dropped the cash in four straight games since early December. The Clippers are coming off a narrow three-point win over the lowly Kings on Friday. Note that Los Angeles, despite being undermanned, shot the lights out and won in spite of getting off only 71 field goal attempts. Generating offense might be a problem again here, noting that the Clips have hoisted up 80 or fewer field goal attempts in three straight games and run into a T'Wolves squad that is sure to be in a foul mood off Friday's defeat. Take Minnesota.

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR SUNDAY, 2/8:
My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Sunday is with the Minnesota Timberwolves minus the points versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Minnesota (32-21) has lost two of their last three games after their 119-115 upset loss against New Orleans as an 8.5-point favorite on Friday. The Timberwolves have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 6 games after an upset loss as a home favorite. They have also covered the point spread in 6 of their last 8 games after a straight-up loss at home. The Clippers have failed to cover the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games after a straight-up win on the road. And while they have not covered the point spread in three straight games, they have failed to cover the point spread in 8 of their last 10 games after failing to cover the point spread in three or more games in a row. Take Minnesota minus the points. Best of luck — Frank.
