Command Analysis
LA Lakers
USACurrent form
J.J. Reddick's team had a good regular season, especially after Luka Doncic joined the ranks. The team confidently qualified for the playoffs, where the problems began.
In the first match of the series, the Lakers unexpectedly lost to Minnesota at home (95:117), but recovered in the next meeting (94:85). It seemed that the defeat in the opening match was an accident, but in the next two games the club from Los Angeles lost again. We must pay tribute to LeBron James, who, thanks to his experience, showed himself at his best, but Luka Doncic made many mistakes and was not like himself. Now Ozernykh has one chance left to stay in the game.
Disqualifications and injuries
The team approaches the meeting without losses.
Interesting facts for betting
Ozernye have scored only one victory in the last five matches.
Approximate composition: James- Hachimura, Hayes-Doncic, Reeves.
Minnesota Timberwolves
USACurrent form
The Timberwolves are unstoppable this season. Already in the regular season, it was noticeable that the team could become the dark horse of the tournament.
Minnesota approached the series with the Lakers extremely motivated and immediately declared itself (117-95). It was more difficult to repeat the success in the next match — the opponent drew conclusions and played more aggressively. The Wolves returned to their home arena, where they inflicted two defeats in a row on their opponent and took the lead. Anthony Edwards is the main threat to Ozerny's defense and has already tickled LeBron James' nerves. Minnesota has a chance to create a sensation and close the series in the next meeting.

The team approaches the confrontation with the optimal composition.
Interesting facts for betting
The Timberwolves have won four of their last five games.
Approximate line-up: Randle - McDaniels, Gober-Conley, Edwards.

The Lakers players understand the depth of the problem and its solution is victory. The next game will be played at the home arena in Los Angeles, which should help the hosts. Ozernye will take to the floor with the optimal starting line-up, so the fans expect their idols to perform well and Victoria.
Minnesota did everything that depended on it and even more. The opponent's defense can't handle Anthony Edwards in any way, but they will obviously pay maximum attention to him in the next meeting. The Timberwolves are in a better position, but the opponent is more motivated than ever. In our opinion, the hosts will get the victory.
Our prediction is that the Lakers will win with a handicap of (-4.5) points in 1.78
Bet on the total
The Lakers will most likely go all-in, because J.J. Reddick's team has no other choice. Minnesota feels comfortable in attack and is unlikely to slow down, so we expect a spectacular game with a breakdown of the total.

The Lakers face a difficult task — they need to win in order to continue the fight. Most likely, Luka Doncic realized his mistakes in the last game and will approach the match better prepared to deal with the opponent's defense together with LeBron James.
Prediction – Lakers' individual total is over 107.5 points in 1.84
