LA Clippers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Predicted Starting Lineups and Depth Chart for Jan. 6 | 2024-25 NBA Season

The Minnesota Timberwolves' quest for their first win of 2025 is put to the test as they face the LA Clippers at the Target Center on Monday. Chris Finch's team has lost all three games in the new year, and to win on the fourth attempt, it must overcome a strong Clippers team that has won seven of its last nine games.

The Timberwolves' form has stuttered in the past week. Their defeat on New Year's Day against the OKC Thunder brought a three-game winning run to an end. This was followed by a 115-118 loss to the Boston Celtics and a 105-119 defeat against the Detroit Pistons, further exemplifying their woes.

Now sitting in 10th with a 17-17 record, a win is paramount to calm nerves across the fanbase and reaffirm its position as a team pushing for the playoffs. Anthony Edwards scored a career-high 53 points in the game against the Pistons and could be the difference-maker on Monday if the hosts want to pull off a victory.

Meanwhile, the Clippers are on an upward trajectory after a few bumps on the road. They were able to manage in the absence of Kawhi Leonard, but he returned in the last matchup against the Atlanta Hawks, scoring 12 points, one assist and three rebounds in 19 minutes.

While the Clippers occupy the sixth seed with a 20-15 record, it appears there's still a lot of work that needs to be done to get to their best. A win on Monday could be a must, with a tough run of matchups coming up in the following days.
