The Minnesota Timberwolves look to turn it around after their loss in Memphis on Monday night, taking on a depleted Los Angeles Clippers team for the second time this week.

After a hot start to the season, the Timberwolves have spent their last eight games flip-flopping between wins and losses, with Monday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies continuing the worrying trend for a team looking to be well above .500 for the season.

It’s a late start, with the game kicking off at 9:30 p.m. CT. Wednesday night.

Against the Clippers, however, the Timberwolves will be looking to keep this win-loss streak going by beating them for the second time in the last six days.

The Clippers, who put up a vicious fight in their last match-up, have been hit hard with the injury bug already this season, with DeAndre Jordan surrounded by a bunch of players that are unrecognizable to even some of the keener NBA fans.

Heading into a game they should win, Minnesota fans won’t be overly confident, after scraping past the Clips last time they met and allowing the Grizzlies to snap an 11-game losing streak at the expense of their team.

Let’s take a look at a key for each team as well as the player to watch in this one.
