Minnesota at Los Angeles

Minnesota has won three in a row, including 115-106 at Phoenix on Saturday when Jimmy Butler scored 32 points to lead six players in double figures.  The Timberwolves shot 50.0 percent and led the entire game. The Lakers have lost five of their last six games following a 95-92 loss at home to Portland.  The Lakers shot only 42.4 percent and was just eight of 25 from 3-point range. Lonzo Ball is out with a shoulder injury, and the Timberwolves are 5-1 ATS their last six road contests. This is the first meeting of the season, and Minnesota has won six of its last eight games overall while the Lakers are showing frustration due to several close losses in the last few weeks. The Lakers are one of the few teams where the Timberwolves have the edge on defense. Lay the points with the Timberwolves.
