1.88Tip and bets
Minnesota approaches the game with the Lakers as a clear favorite. According to bookmakers, the visiting team will have very little chance of success. And that true. The team from California is in a very difficult situation due to a widespread epidemic of injuries. Redick charges are only capable of competing on equal terms with weaker opponents. The Timberwolves, of course, are not among them. The team from Minneapolis will have to win over a weakened opponent.
Our prediction is Minnesota victory with a handicap of (-7.5) points including overtime at 1.76
