How Can Minnesota Pull Off The Upset?
- Minnesota can pull the upset if they can continue to forced Russell Westbrook to turn the ball over, something that could lead to scoring at the other end of the floor. Westbrook is currently leading the league in turnovers.
Key Stats and Trends
- Timberwolves head into the contest on a six-game losing streak.
- D’Angelo Russell has made at least three threes pointers in Timberwolves’ last six games.
- In each of the Lakers’ last two games, Russell Westbrook has recorded a triple-double.
- When the Timberwolves have been the underdog in the last eleven games Anthony Edwards has scored 25 points in ten of those games.
Prop to Consider
- Russell Westbrook: + 140 to record a triple-double – With LeBron James out Westbrook is taking on more responsibilities and if Anthony Davis is out tonight, he will be the focal point of the Lakers’ offense again.
Additional Lakers Notes
- The Lakers are without Austin Reaves, who is dealing with a hamstring injury. He’ll be reevaluated near the end of November.
