Los Angeles at Minnesota

Los Angeles, as predicted, got more physical and won Game 2 94-85, with the game going UNDER by 33 points. The past six meetings have stayed UNDER, and Minnesota is 7-1 UNDER in its past seven games. The Timberwolves have gone UNDER five straight with two days' rest. The Lakers have lost 14 of their past 16 road games against Minnesota. They are just 4-8 ATS in their past 12 road contests, and the Lakers are 14-5 UNDER versus the Northwest Division. The Timberwolves have won nine of 11 and are 9-3 ATS against Western Conference opponents. Both teams know that physicality is a key to the series and look for them to come out with more of the same in Game 3. Take the Timberwolves and the first half UNDER.
