Los Angeles at Minnesota

Both teams are playing back-to-backs, but the Lakers suffered a draining, double-overtime loss at Houston before having to travel again. And Minnesota defeated the Lakers by 17 points at Los Angeles on Christmas Day. The Timberwolves defeated Indiana as Jimmy Butler scored 26 points while Karl-Anthony Towns added 18 points, 14 rebounds, and six blocks. The Timberwolves held the Pacers to 38.8 percent shooting and now have won six of their last seven games, and four of the wins came on the road. The Lakers shot 50.5 percent against the Rockets and don't figure to come close to that on consecutive nights. They have also lost six games in a row and is still playing without Lonzo Ball. The Lakers are 0-4 ATS playing on no rest, and the home team is 5-1 ATS the last six meetings. Take the Timberwolves.
