KEY GAME INFORMATION
MINNESOTA: They've found some depth at the point, meaning Ricky Rubio's minutes can be scaled back. He missed 60 games with an ankle injury last year, and he has missed at least 20 in three of his four seasons . . . Minnesota will surely shop veteran scorer Kevin Martin as the year goes on, but he's likely the top scorer in Minnesota as long as he stays in town . . . Zach LaVine showed flashes of being more than a super-athletic dunk artist last season, holding his own at the point for stretches after Rubio went down. He'll assume a combo guard role off the bench this year and is still a work in progress . . . A lack of size and athleticism will make it an uphill battle for local hero Tyus Jones, despite his success in last year's trainwreck of a Final Four. Last year was quite encouraging for Andrew Wiggins, who scored effectively by getting to the line frequently. Now he needs to add a jumper . . . Kevin Garnett said he'll start but be limited to 20 or so minutes per night as he assumes a player/coach role . . . They got a nice addition in 2015 Euroleague MVP Nemanja Bjelica, a skilled power forward who should help the offense run more smoothly . . . Shabazz Muhammad might be able to establish himself as a high-scoring sixth man . . . Minnesota took a flier on Adreian Payne, who struggled as a rookie but has size and decent shooting touch . . . Damjan Rudez gives them a veteran spot-up shooter off the bench . . . Anthony Bennett has shown no signs of being anything better than a dumpster fire . . . Karl-Anthony Towns is the rare rebounder and rim-protector who can also step away from the basket and stretch the floor on the offensive end. His longterm upside is huge . . . Gorgui Dieng gives them a solid defensive presence and a decent mid-range jumper, but might have a tough time meshing with Towns . . . Nikola Pekovic is still a beast on the offensive boards but can't stay healthy. He's trade bait.
LA CLIPPERS: The Clips will keep closer tabs on Chris Paul's regular-season minutes after spending big to beef up their bench . . . J.J. Redick has become a decent enough defender to go along with his spot-up shooting . . . L.A. spent the offseason trying to unload Jamal Crawford, not particularly surprising after a down year . . . The Clips are rolling the dice that Lance Stephenson can become a versatile bench piece. At his worst, he's a trainwreck . . . What we'll always remember best about Austin Rivers' 2015 postseason play is the laughter . . . Pablo Prigioni gives the Clips a more reliable, more versatile, and all-around better alternative to Rivers . . . C.J. Wilcox is still a work-in-progress as a 3-and-D wing. Blake Griffin has improved immensely as a shooter, passer and ball-handler, capable of initiating the offense when Chris Paul is unavailable. He has also shown a tendency to back down and let DeAndre Jordan clean up the boards . . . Paul Pierce is the kind of shot-maker they'll need for the postseason, but they'll keep him under wraps a bit in the regular season . . . He'll back up both forward spots, and the Clippers are hoping to get an in-control Josh Smith. He is going to be a part of a combustible second unit . . . He'll be strictly a bench option, as Wesley Johnson gives them another long-range shooter on the wing . . . Second-round pick Branden Dawson should pick up garbage time minutes. Part of the Clippers' pitch to win back DeAndre Jordan was that he'd have a bigger role in the offense. He's still a top rebounder and rim protector, but could end up with more low-post oportunities . . . Plodding big Cole Aldrich gives them another traditional center to back up Jordan. . . Nikoloz Tskitishvili is also somehow in the picture for Los Angeles. He'll be trying to shed his bust label, but he won't see much playing time.
PREVIEW
Timberwolves-Clippers Preview
By KEVIN CHROUST STATS Writer

A season after Minnesota won 16 games and the Los Angeles Clippers went to the Western Conference semifinals, it's the Timberwolves who are considerably closer to first place as they conclude their November schedule.

That's mostly because the Clippers are chasing a record-setting team, while Minnesota sits in a more reasonable division and has already won half the games it did in 2014-15.

The teams meet Sunday in Los Angeles with the visitors chasing their first four-game win streak in three years, though it's been even longer since they beat the Clippers.

The Wolves (8-8), who moved to 6-2 on the road with a 101-91 win at Sacramento on Friday, haven't won four in a row overall since Dec. 7-15, 2012. Ricky Rubio and Nikola Pekovic were the only two players on the current roster around for that, and Rubio has missed five games this season while Pekovic is yet to play because of an Achilles injury.

"I don't care if it's home or road, it's hard to win in this league," coach Sam Mitchell said. "Our guys, for a young team, to just grind it out, play defense, rebound, and limit their mistakes ... I'm proud of them."

Andrew Wiggins had 22 points to bounce back from an off shooting night in Wednesday's home win over Atlanta, and the 20-year-old is averaging 21.8 per game to headline an organization that's beginning to get some attention from the rest of the league.

"I think Sam Mitchell has done an amazing job in an incredibly difficult situation," Clippers coach Doc Rivers told the teams official website, referring to the death of Flip Saunders shortly before the start of the season. "I think that young team is the team of the future in the West. They're playing amazing basketball."

It's yet to happen against the Clippers, who have taken the last 12 meetings since Minnesota beat them twice in just over a week in 2011-12.

A three-game sweep last season included 22.3 points, 53.3 percent shooting and an 11-of-21 mark from 3-point range out of J.J. Redick. DeAndre Jordan is averaging 13.5 points and 18.0 boards in the last four meetings, and rebounding could be key in this one.

Los Angeles (8-8) earned its second win in three games Friday, beating New Orleans 111-90 at home despite conceding a 15-5 advantage on the offensive glass.

The Clippers actually have yet to post an overall rebounding advantage. While they've been even twice, their minus-5.0 differential is better than only Milwaukee. That includes a 12.0-9.1 disadvantage on the offensive glass, and the Timberwolves hold a rebounding edge of 2.3 and are among the league leaders in second-chance points with 14.3 per game.

Los Angeles can counter that by holding onto the ball. The club is averaging 13.5 turnovers, which is flirting with the league low, while youthful Minnesota is at 15.2.

That could be exploited by the Clippers if Rubio can't go. He sat against the Kings with an ankle injury, but the Timberwolves won without him for the first time this season.

The Clippers, meanwhile, should have a healthy and rested starting five after none of them played more than 29 minutes against the Pelicans. Another win would give them consecutive victories for the first time since winning their first four games.

They're well aware that consistency is lacking as Golden State runs away with the Pacific Division, while Minnesota is 2 1/2 games behind Oklahoma City in the Northwest.

"I wish we were like this every night," Chris Paul said. "I think we defended pretty well, moved the ball and made shots. Most of all, we sustained it, pretty much."
