Randy’s Free Pick

The Minnesota Timberwolves should win this game given that health is on their side, but they're also due for a loss and are no strangers to losing games they probably shouldn't. The Los Angeles Lakers need to start winning if they're going to sneak into the playoffs, and games like this at home are ones they shouldn't blow. LeBron or not. I'll give the Lakers the benefit of the doubt, but I'm scared of this matchup overall.
