Minnesota at L.A. Lakers- 10:30 ET
Lakers (+) over Timberwolves- Okay, the Lakers will be without Kobe Bryant for six weeks or so and I wonder if it really matters. Los Angeles who had a winning record (10-9) without Bryant and just 2-4 with him are back where they started at the beginning of the season. Meanwhile, with Kevin Love back in the line-up Minnesota defeated Portland on Wednesday but are a meager 3-8 on the road this year. Back in November the Timberwolves invaded Los Angeles and beat the Lakers by 23 points 113-90 after having lost 22 straight against the Lakers. We used Minnesota in that contest as a 'Don't Make sense' winner as the Wolves were favored. Not so much this time around. Lakers rally and win here. Take LOS ANGELES!
