Minnesota Timberwolves vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Matthew Newman | in NBA Predictions
The 12-11 Minnesota Timberwolves welcome the 13-11 Los Angeles Lakers to the Target Center for a Western Conference matchup early on Saturday morning. The Timberwolves are sat 9th in the West while the Lakers are 8th ahead of our prediction on the match.
These teams met on December 2 with the Timberwolves coming out 109-80 winners on this court. That was game two of a four-game win streak which was ended in their most recent contest at the Golden State Warriors.
7-4 at home this season but arguably, they should have won more. They have an expected win-loss record on the season of 14-9, suffering a single-point loss at home to the Miami Heat and letting a five-point lead slip against the Houston Rockets.
The Lakers have lost three straight on the road. It was a visit here that they suffered the first of those before a 41-point hammering in Miami and a tough overtime defeat against the Atlanta Hawks.
A quick trip home saw them beat the Portland Trail Blazers, with four of their next six on the road, 5-8 in road games so far this season.
