LA Lakers -6.0(-115)MIN Timberwolves @ LA Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers have been rolling of late, winning their last 3 games and 8 of their last 10 overall. Tonight, they will be welcoming the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Crypto.com Arena where they have a 20-7 record so far this season. The visitors pulled off an unlikely comeback win in their last outing against the Oklahoma City Thunder but could have issues causing a similar shock here. Rudy Gobert, Donte DiVincenzo and Julius Randle remain out while Anthony Edwards is questionable to play due to calf soreness. If the Timberwolves star does not take to the floor, the visitors should have trouble matching the firepower that Luka Doncic and LeBron James provide for the hosts.

The Lakers have been terrific defensively of late, ranking 2nd in defensive rating over the last 10 games. If the Timberwolves are going to be without Edwards here, they should find it incredibly difficult to break down the hosts. The Timberwolves have been in the top 10 of the league during that stretch of games in 3-point attempts per game. The Lakers have been allowing teams to shoot just 33.7% from beyond the arc over the last 10 games and will be well positioned to lock down the visitors. The Lakers have also allowed the fewest paint points during that stretch. The hosts should be able to cover the spread tonight with the visitors struggling to score tonight.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction: Lakers -6 available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.
