Los Angeles at Minnesota

The Los Angeles Lakers have battled internal struggles, and injuries all season, but have worked themselves back into the playoffs picture. The Lakers are 19-10 over their last 29 games, and would now be a playoffs team if the season ended today. Minnesota is a young, talented team, but one that does not have the capacity to overcome the injuries they have endured this season. The Minnesota Timberwolves have long struggled vs. the better teams in the league. This has led them to an NBA worst 56-98-3 ATS as a home dog since 2006, and they are currently 5-15-2 ATS in their last 22 overall vs. a winning team. Take the Lakers in this one.
