Minnesota Timberwolves vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction: The Lakers have many problems

Prediction for the Minnesota Timberwolves vs Los Angeles Lakers match which will take place on December 3. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Timberwolves played their previous game at home against one of the strongest teams in the first half of the current championship—the Los Angeles Clippers. Minnesota had no trouble with the Californians' excellent defense, but they also played well on the defensive end, winning 93:92. Chris Finch's team broke their four-game losing streak.

In general, Minnesota's form this season has been anything but consistent. The Wolves have won just 9 of 19 games since the start of the season and are outside the play-in zone in 11th place in the Western Conference.

D'Angelo Russell is in the starting five, along with Christian Wood, Jaxson Hayes, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Bronny James. LeBron and Anthony Davis are playing, but the Lakers lack depth in the rotation. J.J. Redick's side lost four of their last six games and slipped to sixth in the Western Conference, where they were third at one stage.

The Lakers won their last game yesterday, a 105:104 victory over Utah. However, Los Angeles can hardly take that game as an advantage, given their opponent's very low level—the Jazz are in penultimate place in the West.

The Lakers have many problems in their squad, and the Californians can hardly expect success against a quality team like Minnesota, even in a back-to-back situation. The Timberwolves have been disappointing so far this season, but they have the potential to go higher than the 11th place they currently occupy in the Western Conference standings. Why don't the Wolves start a long winning streak now? We're backing Minnesota to win a low-scoring game - the Wolves were the NBA's best defensive team last season, and they're getting better.
