Will Wolves be able to record a victory at Los Angeles on January 3? The answer is in our prediction.

Command Analysis

LA Lakers

Lakers managed to stop their freefall, beating opponents in a few recent matches. After a victory over Houston (132:123) Frank Vogel's men also beat Portland (139:106). But between these matches team suffered a defeat to Memphis (99:104).

In recent matches situation with the Lakers' squad improved. Trevor Ariza, Avery Bradley, Malik Monk and Kent Bazemore have returned to the line-up, so Frank Vogel will be able to use rotation. Now aging Lakers' players will have more time for a rest.

Minnesota Timberwolves

In the previous match Jarrett Vanderbilt and Anthony Edwards returned to the Timberwolves' squad. But despite that Timberwolves were unable to put up a fight to Utah, suffering a 108:120 defeat.

Results of recent Wolves' matches were terrible. They lost 4 out of 5 most recent matches. Finch's men managed to record the only victory in the match against Boston (108:103). Minneapolis team dropped to the 9th spot in the Western Conference. Now Minnesota needs to change the situation.

Tip and bets

TipHandicap (+9) for Minnesota

1.81

Edwards and Vanderbilt returned to the squad, so now Minnesota should be even stronger. We think that Wolves will put up a great performance at Los Angeles, especially since Lakers are not looking impressive lately.

In 7 out of 10 most recent home matches home matches Lakers failed to win by more than ten points. We are not expecting a better performance from them in the match against the Timberwolves.

Our prediction - Handicap (+9) points for Minnesota Timberwolves

Will the prediction win?

TipTotal over 219,5 points

1.64

Two previous head-to-head matches between these teams were low-scoring. But we think that everything will be changed this time. Lakers are playing much more aggressive now, so we are expecting a high-scoring performance from them.

Our second prediction - total over 219,5 points
