The Wolves are still in first place in the Western Conference but are losing more often than earlier in the season. In the last five games, Chris Finch's team has lost twice - on the road at Philadelphia (113:127) and Oklahoma (106:129). Minnesota won without Luka Doncic in their last game, beating Dallas 118:110.

The Lakers played their last game at home and confidently defeated Charlotte 133:112. LeBron James scored only 17 points but had 11 assists and only 2 turnovers. Anthony Davis finished with 26 points.

It was only the second win for the Lakers in the last seven games. Only one win separates Darvin Ham's team from the top-6 in the Western Conference.

The rivals' first meeting in this championship, December 22, also ended at home Timberwolves - 118:111. The Lakers didn't have LeBron James then, so now, when the King plays, the Lakers have a better chance to win. Minnesota's game system has especially started to fail lately. Let's go with Los Angeles.
