The T-Wolves are 5-29 on the road. Los Angeles is 23-8 at home. How can Minnesota hang here? Well, they don't have to win. They just have to cover a very large number. The Lakers are just 13-18 ATS at home this season so they are susceptible here. In fact, LA is just 10-21 ATS the past two seasons at home vs. losing teams. They are also 10-23 ATS at home over the past three seasons vs. up-tempo teams like Minnesota (those averaging 83+ shots per game). Under Phil Jackson, the Lakers are 27-42 ATS as a home favorite of 12.5 to 15 points. This is too many for LA to lay and I'm on the dog here.
