The Timberwolves are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Lakers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games and 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games overall. The under is 11-4 in Timberwolves last 15 overall. The under is 8-0 in Lakers last 8 Friday games. The Timberwolves are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are coming off one of their better performances of the season, but it still resulted in a loss. The Timberwolves can't play a solid 48 minutes of basketball and their offense has been rough to say the least. The Los Angeles Lakers have to work for everything they get, but at least they're finding ways to win, and back to back overtime victories should improve the confidence of this club. I'll lay the chalk with the Lakers, as I don't trust the Timberwolves all that much.
