Minnesota Timberwolves vs Los Angeles Lakers Pick

Timberwolves vs Lakers Pick

  • Los Angeles Lakers Moneyline

The Lakers have been playing strong basketball recently and hold a solid home record entering this matchup. While Minnesota has a powerful offense, Los Angeles has been extremely efficient offensively and should benefit from home court advantage in this matchup.

I expect this game to feature a fast pace with both teams capable of scoring in bunches. Minnesota averages nearly 119 points per game while the Lakers average 116 points and shoot an excellent percentage from the field. With both offenses operating efficiently, I see this game trending toward the over.
