Lakers vs. Timberwolves Game 4 Odds & Lines

Game Preview
Even though LeBron had 38 points, 10 boards, and five threes, his Lakers couldn’t do anything in Minnesota. The reason for that was Luka Doncic’s mediocre performance. The Slovenian had 17 points, eight assists and seven boards and shot 6-for-16 from the field. Doncic apparently had stomach problems.
Austin Reaves had 20 points, which was kinda expected from him, but what wasn’t were only 16 points off the bench with three assists. That’s terrible from the Lakers’ backups.

Anthony Edwards made five threes for 29 points with eight boards and assists. In the decisive moments, Ant rose to the occasion, guiding his T-Wolves to another win.

But the x-factor of Game 3 was Jaden McDaniels, who ended the night with 30 points. He was constantly attacking the Lakers’ players using their defensive struggles (Luka primarily). Minnesota’s silent hero, Julius Randle, again had a solid performance, 22 points.
Lakers vs. Timberwolves Head to Head
The regular season series was tied with 2 wins each, with the teams posting victories at home. Game 1 of the series, when Minnesota won in LA, stands as the only break this year.
Lakers vs. Timberwolves Game 4 Predictions
The LA Lakers have been posting good results at the finish of the regular season, but their overall performances weren’t that shiny. We saw that in these three matchups. That’s why we pick the T-Wolves to win and cover the spread.
