Los Angeles Lakers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Carlos Zabala | in NBA Picks

For the third time this season, the Lakers face the Timberwolves and for the second time in a row at Target Field in Minnesota. On December 2, the Timberwolves held the Lakers to just 80 points in what was the worst offensive night of the Los Angeles team's season. Eleven days later, they return to the same court to face the same rival in a game where LeBron James is presumed not to be for the Lakers. However, the Lakers managed to win with the king's absence on Sunday against the Trail Blazers.

That last loss at the beginning of December against the Timberwolves was blamed on the fatigue of their stars, including LeBron James, but the context in the eyes of the bookies for the new clash seems to be the same, since as in December 2, the Wolves were favorites to beat the Lakers by 7.5 points, on Friday they will be again by the same difference. The Timberwolves however average two points per game less than the Lakers, play with a slow pace and are the worst team in the NBA at scoring Fast Break points per game.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction

After the explosive game the Lakers lost to the Hawks and went into overtime they won against the Trail Blazers without LeBron in a game where they stood out for their fierce defense this time. Lakers registered 14 steals and 7 blocks. With the T-wolves and Lakers being teams that don't excel in the offensive rebounding category, Minnesota will want to stick with what worked in Game 1 against the Lakers. A physical game could result in a Game Total UNDER. Our prediction for Timberwolves vs Lakers is: Under 216.5 points.
