LA Lakers (39-25) and Minnesota Timberwolves (40-24) will clash in the Western Conference on Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena. The Lakers have been excellent lately, bouncing back from their 7-point loss against the Nuggets to win two straight games. They started their five-game home stand with a 128-117 win against the Pacers before defeating the Knicks 110-97. The Lakers will next host the Bulls and the Nuggets as they try to climb higher in the standings.
The Timberwolves, meanwhile, have been outstanding in the conference, sitting in the third spot, 9.5 games behind the Thunder. However, that’s just a game ahead of the Lakers, setting up an intense clash on Tuesday. The Timberwolves will be looking to bounce back instantly from their 92-119 defeat against the Magic on Friday last week. Another loss could see the Lakers and the Rockets leapfrog them in the standings.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
Minnesota Timberwolves are the 1.5-point favorites. They’ve been in excellent form lately, winning five of their last six matches. The Wolves have also emerged victorious in six of their last seven assignments. However, the Lakers have been on fire on their own hardwood lately, scoring an average of 119 points in their last four games. The Lakers also covered the spread in all those home games, underscoring their home-court advantage. LA could welcome back veteran forward, LeBron James, from his elbow injury against the Wolves. Taking the Lakers on the moneyline has good value.
Our prediction for Los Angeles Lakers vs Minnesota Timberwolves: LA Lakers to cover +1.5 spread.
