Bet on Los Angeles Lakers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves with Bet365What to Expect from the Game between Los Angeles Lakers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves
Anthony Edwards had 22 points, 9 assists, and eight rebounds as the Minnesota Timberwolves upset the LA Lakers 117-95 to claim the 18th win from their last 22 games. The Lakers must find a way to turn Luka Dončić's output into a victory in Game 2 ahead of a tough battle in Minnesota with the in-form Timberwolves when the playoffs head there later in the week. LeBron James was uncharacteristically lethargic, while Doncic was missing in his defensive duties in Game 1. Despite the rout in Game 1, the Los Angeles Lakers remain huge favorites to win and tie the series at 1-1. We expect another exciting and keenly contested game between the West's third and sixth seeds. Read more here.
