Free Minnesota Timberwolves vs. LA Lakers NBA Prediction:
The Wolves are missing the presence of Covington who adds defensive intensity and perimeter efficiency.
While Kyle Kuzma and Brandon Ingram are the youngsters the Lakers were watching closely without LeBron in the lineup, yet it’s youngster Ivica Zubac who has been the biggest revelation.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Lakers ATS. They win a close one at Staples
The Lakers have demonstrated the ability to hang in tight games but then have issues closing them. With Rondo back, it should help to add some calm to the group.
