NBA Odds: Lakers-Timberwolves prediction, odds and pick

The Timberwolves host the winless Lakers for Friday night action. Minnesota is (3-2) on the year after taking down the San Antonio Spurs last time out. LA is 0-4 after a tough first week of the season. Anthony Davis will be a game-time decision with a back injury.

The Lakers are looking for their first win of the season. They are 6.5 points behind the Timberwolves. LeBron is averaging 25.3 points, 10 rebounds and 7.8 assists on the year. AD is also averaging 24 with 9. 5 rebounds. Lonnie Walker is shooting only 43% from the floor. Russ will come off the bench if he plays. If he doesn't, he will be back in the starting five.

The Timberwolves have one of the deepest lineups in the NBA. Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns make a great frontcourt.

Anthony Edwards is one of the top young stars in the game. He needs to improve his three-point and free-throw shooting if he wants to complete his game, he is shooting just 35% from deep and 57% on strike. D’Angelo Russell is a huge reason for the Twolves” success so far.

Lakers and Timberwolves are playing each other. Minnesota is favored to win.
