The Minnesota Timberwolves will host the LA Clippers in a play-in tournament game on Tuesday.

Both their superstars, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, have missed significant time on the court due to serious injuries. Nevertheless, the Clippers are well and truly punching above their weight and would be a serious threat if Leonard returns this season.
Meanwhile, the Timberwolves have been inconsistent all season long but have got into the play-in tournament as the seventh seed in the West. Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards and D'Angelo Russell are three young players who could help win a championship shortly.
