Both teams play the day after the previous game. Minnesota met Philadelphia on the road and could not stop Joel Embiid, who scored 51 points. The result was a 113:127 defeat. The Wolves only missed 8 three-pointers. However, the team's three-point defense left much to be desired.

The Los Angeles Lakers can't get together after winning the preseason tournament. Their loss in Chicago the day before they faced Minnesota was their third in a row and their fourth in the last five games. Darvin Ham's team lost 108:124 to the Bulls, who shot 52.9% from three-point.

Minnesota doesn't do much offensively from a three-point arc, but the Lakers have one of the worst perimeter defenses this season. Let's look at Mike Conley's team. The Timberwolves point guard almost always breaks his season norm of 11.3 points against weak teams from beyond the arc.
