Timberwolves vs Lakers prediction
Massive game for both the Timberwolves and Lakers. The Timberwolves are fighting for the top seed in the West, while the Lakers are looking to possibly get out of the play-in tournament. The Timberwolves still have these moments where they show their youth and don't rise to the occasion, and they're coming off a game against the Suns where they scored 87 points. The Lakers are playing their best ball of the season with wins in 9 of their last 10 games. AD and others have taken their game to another level. This is the case of a veteran team that knows what time of the year it is. Give me the Lakers and the reasonable chalk.
