Time: 9:30 PM ET

The Los Angeles Lakers look to build on their winning momentum as they host the Minnesota Timberwolves for the second time in the 2021-22 NBA season. The T Wolves have dominated the Lakeshow this season defeating them twice.

Los Angeles is seventh in points per game at 111.1 and 26th in points allowed per game at 112.2.

Russell Westbrook completes the Purple and Gold big 3 with 19.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 8.4 boards per game.

They are 27th in field-goal shooting (42.9%) and 23rd in three-point shooting (33.9%). This, although they shoot more three-pointers per game than any team in the NBA (41.6).

The Timberwolves are led by Karl-Anthony Towns at 24.5 points and 9.1 rebounds per game. Edwards is also having an outstanding season, averaging 22.2 points and 5.7 boards per contest. Minnesota’s third-best player is D’Angelo Russell while averaging 18.7 ppg and 6.7 apg.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Match Prediction

The Minnesota Timberwolves has been struggling, in their past few games. Los Angeles had their slump but looks like they have gotten out of it, winning two of their last three games and dominating the Trail Blazers. LeBron James balled out and Westbrook had a triple-double making the Lakers favourites against the Timberwolves. Minnesota is without their star duo of Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell, giving the Lakeshow a massive upper hand.
