Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+10.5) for Lakers – 1.80.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Match Points Over 235.5 – 1.57.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Three – Towns Points Over 27.5 – 2.10.
The unstable Lakers are unlikely to survive in Minneapolis. The Timberwolves are a much stronger team right now. Finch’s side recently defeated Eastern Conference leaders. It’s very likely that the Lakers will suffer a similar fate.
The encounter is likely to be entertaining. Both teams are excellent offensively. At the same time, they’re not as strong on defence.
For the Minnesota Timberwolves, there are no authorities. Finch’s team continues to crush one opponent after another. In the last two games, for example, they defeated the Miami Heat (113-104) and San Antonio Spurs (149-139). All of that helps them in their fight for the Western Conference Top-6 spot.
The Timberwolves are particularly good at the Target Center. They still haven’t lost on their home court in March. In addition, they’ve lost only 12 games at home this season. That makes Minnesota one of the best home teams in the league.

In the game against the Spurs, Karl-Anthony Towns scored 60 points, 17 rebounds and 3 assists.
Los Angeles Lakers:
The Lakers have failed to find stability. Throughout the season, Frank Vogel’s men have been struggling. It seemed to be temporary. However, nothing has changed. There’s no doubt that the roster of the Lakers will be very different next season.
The Los Angeles team has lost again in its last two games. First, the Lakers lost on the road to the Phoenix Suns (111-140), then they lost to the Toronto Raptors (103-114). Despite that, they held their ground. Vogel’s men are still ninth in the West.
