As bad as the Lakers are, the Timberwolves can't be laying these many points. Minnesota have lost four in a row. They are 2-9 at home and 4-22-1 ATS during their last 27 games at Target Center versus an opponent with a road winning percentage of less than .400.

The Lakers have revenge for a one-point home loss to Minnesota in which they shot just 37.6 percent from the field.

LA has won during its last two visits to Minnesota. Kobe Bryant actually made half of his field goal attempts in the Lakers' last game helping the Lakers cover against the Raptors.

The Lakers are going to have few winnable road matchups. This is one of them.
