Minnesota Timberwolves vs Los Angeles Lakers prediction
The Los Angeles Lakers remain one of those weird teams that’s hard to get a proper feel with. Right when you’re ready to believe in the Lakers, and they’re coming off a nice win, they let you down in their next effort. LeBron James is still questionable for the Lakers, and the Timberwolves are simply the better team that’s won 7 of the last 10 meetings against LAL. The Timberwolves beat the Lakers twice in December. We’re getting a free point with the better team. It’s hard to turn down the better team in the underdog role. Give me the Timberwolves on the road.
