It promises to be a cracker as fifth-place Los Angeles Lakers host third-place Minnesota Timberwolves at the Crypto.com Arena this evening. The Lakers are 39–25 on the season, while the Wolves are 40–24. Who is likely to secure victory?
The Los Angeles Lakers are off to a flying start to their five-game homestand. They began with an 11-point victory over the Indiana Pacers and sustained the momentum in the second fixture – their most recent outing – defeating the New York Knicks 110–97.
Overall, they are 5–1 in their last six games and have secured victory in each of their last four home games. Can they sustain this winning momentum against the Minnesota Timberwolves?
After a perfect three-game road trip, the Minnesota Timberwolves continued their winning ways in their three-game homestand, seeing off the Memphis Grizzlies and the Toronto Raptors in their first two fixtures in the stretch.
However, they rounded off that three-game stretch on a disappointing note, suffering a shock and morale-dampening 119–92 defeat to the Orlando Magic. They have lost their previous two meetings with the Los Angeles Lakers this season and are 5–12 against the spread in their last 17 games as away favourites.
