On Tuesday, both the Timberwolves and Lakers rested and will face each other on Wednesday, with Minnesota listed as a 6.5-point betting favorite.
Both teams allowed more than 120 points in the loss to start the week; the T-Wolves lost at Target Center, falling victim to 43 points scored by Murray for the Nuggets. For Minnesota, which even led by 8 points at halftime, the best player on the court was Jaden McDaniels, the team's leading scorer on Monday with 25 points; he was followed by Randle with 24.
The second Timberwolves-Lakers game of the season will have significant absences; for the Lakers, Doncic will be out due to a sprained finger, while for Minnesota, Anthony Edwards will miss at least eight more games with a right hamstring strain.
Both teams enter their fifth game of the season with identical 2-2 records. The Lakers took the W against the T-Wolves at Crypto Arena, beating them 128-110, albeit with even odds. The Lakers took that game as an underdog in the betting world.

Our Minnesota Timberwolves vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
Austin Reaves, who scored a career-high 51 points against the Kings, has undoubtedly captured the attention and headlines for the Lakers at the start of the season. He joined LeBron James, Anthony Davis, O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant as the only five Lakers players to score 50 or more points in a game.
Reddick praised Reaves' tenacity, and he scored another 41 points the following day. However, the absence of Doncic, LeBron James, and Smart leaves the Lakers at a disadvantage heading into the game in Minnesota; they suffered greatly in their 108-122 home loss to the Blazers, and the Slovenian was instrumental in their victory against Minnesota before injuring his finger.
Our prediction for Timberwolves vs Lakers is: Timberwolves -7.
