Timberwolves prepare to face Lakers at home
The Timberwolves look to extend their home winning streak to 3 games when they tangle this week with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Minnesota brings a 2-2 overall mark (1-1 in the division) into this game vs. a Los Angeles team carrying a 3-1 record.
Oddsmakers like the Timberwolves in this one, opening the line at 4.5 in favor of Minnesota. They are 2-2 this season, while the Lakers are 3-1. The total sits at 189.5.
Last time out, at Philips Arena against Atlanta, the Lakers as favorites defeated the Hawks 103-97. The game was an over play.
Dwane Casey's troops were at home against the Clippers last game and came away with a 93-78 win, a game that went under 182.5. Oddsmakers had them as 5.5-point favorites in that one.
This game is likely to come down to the Lakers's execution on offence. They rank 3rd in the league in scoring and look to sustain their 106.5 points per game average against the Timberwolves's #10-rated defensive unit.
