On Sunday, the Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers meet for the fourth and final time this season. Minnesota leads the season series 2-1 with wins on December 21st and 30th while the Lakers won on March 10th.
Minnesota last played on Friday dropping their match 87-97 to the Suns while the Lakers are completing a back-to-back set having routed the Cavaliers 116-97 on Saturday.
Season Series
LA holds the all-time edge over the Wolves with 85 wins in 128 matches although last season Minnesota won the season series two games to one.
*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, on Saturday, April 6th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Sunday, April 7th.
Minnesota Timberwolves
With the Nuggets winning on Saturday they regained the West’s top ladder rung a half-game up on the Wolves and 1.5 on the Thunder. A win on Sunday would find Minny reclaiming that top spot.
Of that trio, the Wolves face the hardest closing schedule against the Lakers, Wizards, Nuggets, Hawks, and Suns.
Denver has the easiest itinerary with the Jazz, Wolves, Spurs, and Grizzlies remaining while OKC falls in the middle with the Hornets, Kings, Spurs, Bucks, and Mavs.
Timberwolves Stats
Minnesota ranks tied for 16th on offense (114.8) and first defensively (107.8) while they are a plus +7.0 net differential, ranking second overall.
The Wolves are riding the middle with a 39-37-1 record against the spread through 77 matches this season.
Timberwolves Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Karl-Anthony Towns, C (OUT indefinitely — meniscus)
- Jaylen Clark, SF (OUT indefinitely—Achilles)
Los Angeles Lakers
With their victory on Saturday, the Lakers finally gained some traction moving up to the eighth seed which could result in them only having to participate in one play-in game if they can hang onto the seed.
That will be a tough ask, however, as after this match two of the three teams they’ll play are also in the same bracket area (Warriors/Pelicans) plus the Grizzlies.
Lakers Stats
LA ranks 19th offensively (115.2) and 15th defensively (114.8), with a plus net differential of +0.4 ranking 19th overall.
The Lakers aren’t a great choice when betting against the spread with a 38-41 record to this point in the season.
Lakers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Jalen Hood-Schifino, SG (OUT for season —back)
- Christian Wood, PF (OUT indefinitely — knee)
- Jarred Vanderbilt, SF (OUT indefinitely — foot)

Free Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Los Angeles Lakers NBA Prediction:
It seems every game impacts the seeding ladder and while these two clubs are in different spots on that ladder both need the victory to cement their berths. Minny knows they have a playoff seed but they covet the top seed whereas the Lakers want to avoid a one-and-done play-in game.
LA has won nine of their last 10 matches while the Wolves have won nine of their last 12 so both teams arrive on a bit of a hot streak. Minny has the rest advantage so I’m leaning toward the Wolves pulling out a close victory.
