The Los Angeles Lakers take on the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight. The Lakers have lost a little bit of their early season momentum. Currently, the Lakers have a 21-7 record, the second-best in the NBA. But much of their problems have started to surface, especially now with Anthony Davis being out for a significant period of time.

The Timberwolves on the other hand have been extremely poor this year. They have the worst record in the NBA, despite having three top-3 draft picks in their team. While Anthony Edwards has performed well, the team has struggled with injuries to Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell.

With that in mind, let us take a look at the Lakers vs Timberwolves game.

Los Angeles Lakers – Team News

Anthony Davis is out for the near future with a calf strain. He is set to be re-evaluated after the NBA All-Star game. Alex Caruso and LeBron James are still listed as day-to-day. However, given that LeBron James has played every game so far, and with Anthony Davis unavailable, ‘the King’ will be playing.

The Lakers are without Anthony Davis going into the game. But given how they have fared without AD prior in this season, they should be fine. They face the team with the worst record in the NBA.

Prediction: The Los Angeles Lakers are able to get the win over Wolves without any major concern.

Who will win between the Lakers and the Timberwolves? It will be an interesting game, with both teams missing significant players going into the game. But the Lakers have shown how important their depth has been to them this season.
