WIN

The Lakers lost a close 112-111 decision against Minnesota on Oct. 28, which was the first time the Timberwolves had beaten the Lakers in four tries. Los Angeles lost at Toronto 102-93 on Monday as Kobe Bryant scored 21 points and Lou Williams and Julius Randle added 15 each. Bryant had been in a season-long shooting slump but broke out with a 50 percent performance against the Raptors. Minnesota has lost four in a row after a 110-106 loss against the Clippers on Monday. The Timberwolves shot just 43.9 percent from the field and continued their losing ways at home this season where they are an inexplicable 2-9 straight-up. Andrew Wiggins has been a bright spot in averaging 21.1 points and Karl Anthony-Towns averages 14.8 points and 9.1 rebounds per game, but the Wolves have yet to find any consistency, especially on their home court. Minnesota is 0-4-1 ATS its last five games after a loss and an astonishing 4-22-1 ATS their last 27 home games against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. The Lakers have covered the number nine of their last 11 in Minnesota. Grab the points and play the Lakers.
