Los Angeles Lakers at Minnesota Timberwolves Preview & Picks
Minnesota are tipped to cover the spread for the first time this season.
The Timberwolves can take advantage of a short-handed Lakers team that is without Doncic and James, and could be without a bunch of rotation players too.
- Minnesota Timberwolves are 6-3 in the last 9 meetings
- Minnesota Timberwolves are 6-0-0 ATS in their previous wins over Los Angeles
- Los Angeles Lakers are 1-2 at home this season
- The Over has cashed in 3 of the previous 4 meetings
Head To Head
- Los Angeles Lakers lead the all-time series 97-54
- Los Angeles Lakers won 128-110 when the two teams last met on October 24
Los Angeles Lakers Form
Los Angeles also enter this matchup having split their first four games of the 2025/26 campaign.
The Lakers were in action on the NBA’s opening night and fell to a 119-109 defeat at home to Golden State.
They rebounded in their next outing, beating Minnesota 128-110, and they backed that up in what has been their only road game so far.
Los Angeles visited Sacramento on Sunday and registered a 127-120 victory over the Kings.
The Lakers failed to make it three wins in a row however, as they returned home for a 122-108 defeat to Portland on Monday.
Minnesota Timberwolves Form
Minnesota head to Los Angeles having made a mixed start to the season with two wins and two defeats.
The Timberwolves opened up the campaign with back-to-back road games and endured mixed fortunes.
They beat Portland 118-114 in the season-opener, only to then suffer a 128-110 defeat when they visited the Los Angeles Lakers.
Minnesota rebounded in their home opener as they downed Indiana, 114-110, but their joy was short-lived.
The Timberwolves fell back to .500 on Monday as they were beaten 127-114 at home by Denver.
Verdict
Both teams are off to mixed starts, but at least Minnesota are the healthier team.
The Lakers are without Doncic and James and could be missing a host of other players too, so we are backing the Timberwolves’ better depth to see them through.
