KEY GAME INFORMATION
LA CLIPPERS: LAST SEASON: 48-34, lost 4-2 to Golden State in Western Conference first round.
COACH: Doc Rivers (seventh season with Clippers, 307-185; 21st season overall, 894-658).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: F Kawhi Leonard (30.5 ppg with Toronto), F Paul George (23.7 with Oklahoma City), G Patrick Beverley (7.6), G Landry Shamet (9.1), C Ivica Zubac (8.9).
KEY LOSSES: G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, F Danilo Gallinari, F Wilson Chandler, G-F Garrett Temple, G Sindarius Thornwell, G Tyrone Wallace.
KEY ADDITIONS: Leonard, George.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: It's all about newcomers Leonard and George. They'll be the top two options on offense. Leonard is coming off a season in which he led Toronto to its first NBA championship (and earned his second ring). Leonard returning home was contingent upon pairing with George, also an LA-area native. George, who finished third in MVP voting last season, can guard nearly any position while being a huge scoring threat. Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell, the NBA's top bench-scoring duo last season, will get starter-level minutes again.
OUTLOOK: No more watching other teams go deep in the playoffs. The NBA's balance of power has shifted to the Clippers, who have never advanced beyond the second round let alone won a championship. All that's expected to change behind Leonard and George, both regarded as two of the best two-way players in the league. The Clippers had to give up talented veteran Gallinari and star-in-the-making Gilgeous-Alexander, but they kept Harrell, Williams and re-signed Beverley, whose sole job will be using his tenacious D to keep others from scoring. The Clippers are favorites to win it all, a stunning shift for a franchise that has spent much of its existence as a punch line.
MINNESOTA: LAST SEASON: 36-46, finished 11th in Western Conference.
COACH: Ryan Saunders (second season, 17-25 as interim coach last season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Jeff Teague (12.1 ppg), G Andrew Wiggins (18.1), F Jake Layman (7.6), F Robert Covington (14.5), C Karl-Anthony Towns (24.4).
KEY LOSSES: G Derrick Rose, G Tyus Jones, F Taj Gibson, F Dario Saric, F Anthony Tolliver, G Jerryd Bayless, F Luol Deng.
KEY ADDITIONS: Layman, G Jarrett Culver, G Shabazz Napier, G/F Treveon Graham, F Noah Vonleh, F Jordan Bell, G Jaylen Nowell, C Naz Reid.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Towns is as versatile of a big man as there is in the league, but he can't carry the scoring load alone so the pressure will be on Wiggins to take a step forward under Saunders in the second year of his max contract extension carrying a $27 million salary cap hit. Having a healthy Covington, the team's best defender who arrived in the Jimmy Butler trade from the Sixers last season but missed the last 45 games because of a bone bruise on his knee, will be a critical factor. Culver, the sixth overall pick in the draft out of NCAA runner up Texas Tech, ought to provide more of that valuable perimeter defense along with Josh Okogie off the bench. Either of them could crack the starting lineup at some point, too.
OUTLOOK: The Timberwolves have started fresh, yet again, with Saunders, the youngest coach in the league, beneath an overhauled front office headed by new president of basketball operations Gersson Rosas. With Towns and Wiggins, they have a pair of under-25 standouts locked in, and a quiet offseason relative to the rest of the NBA yielded some useful role players in Layman, Vonleh, Bell, Napier and Graham. The first steps are to establish themselves as a far more consistent and efficient team on defense and shooting from the outside. With the Western Conference even more loaded than before, though, it will be tough to measure progress in the standings. Increasing their win total will be a tall order.
PREVIEW
Streaking Clippers visit skidding Timberwolves
 

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard finally has possession of his latest championship ring, and it does not seem to be weighing him down despite some 640 diamonds and all the symbolism it holds.

Leonard received the ring in a pregame ceremony at Toronto on Wednesday, then then went on to lead the Clippers to a convincing 112-92 victory on his former home court, where much of the work toward an NBA title was done.

"It was great, it was a great moment," Leonard said. "They did a great job putting it together, having all the players out there that won with me."

Now Leonard brings his shiny hardware to Minnesota for a Friday night clash against the Timberwolves, who have lost each of their past six games, four of which came on the road.

Leonard has the Clippers looking like a contender despite some ups and downs in the early going. Los Angeles is riding a three-game winning streak and has won 12 of the past 14 games.

On Wednesday in Canada, Leonard scored a team-best 23 points on 8-of-14 shooting in front of a packed house that gave him a rousing ovation before the game. He added six assists, five rebounds and two steals.

"I thought Kawhi was great," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. "What I loved about him was that he was patient. He just waited and waited. He kept accepting the (defensive) traps and kept making the right plays. Everybody else started scoring, the traps stopped, and then Kawhi turned it on."

Paul George had a quiet night for the Clippers with 13 points on 3-of-14 shooting, including a 2-of-12 showing from 3-point range. George was coming off 36-point performance in his own reunion game at Indiana on Monday, when he sank 7 of 16 3-point attempts. Leonard received a night of rest against the Pacers.

Since George made his Clippers debut on Nov. 14, Leonard has averaged 23.3 points and George has scored 23.2 per game, with the team going 12-3.

The Timberwolves have their own dynamic duo in big man Karl-Anthony Towns and guard Andrew Wiggins, but it has not equated into extended success. Towns had 21 points and 11 rebounds in Minnesota's return home Wednesday, and Wiggins added 26 points, but the Timberwolves merely ended up with a 127-116 defeat to the Utah Jazz.

The Timberwolves were 10-8 on Thanksgiving but are 10-14 now and have a tall task ahead to avoid a seventh consecutive defeat. They are giving up 128.2 points per game during their losing streak and don't seem to have a grasp on how to stop the onslaught.

"It's frustrating, because we don't have a problem scoring. We can score with anybody," Wiggins said, according to the St. Paul Pioneer-Press. "The way we're going to win games, and the way we won games in the beginning of the year, was defense. I feel we've been getting away from that."

Clippers guard Patrick Beverley left the Wednesday game with a possible concussion and is day-to-day heading into the Friday contest.
