It’s Sunday and tonight we have a great matchup out on the West Coast between the Timberwolves and the Lakers. I think there’s a lot of value in Minnesota’s moneyline despite being on the road.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Los Angeles Lakers
Sunday, April 07, 2024 – 10:00 PM ET at Crpyto.com Arena
Good Spot For Minnesota
Tonight’s game is a good spot for Minnesota in primarily two respects. One, the Lakers are in the second leg of a back-to-back. This season, they are 4-10 ATS in this spot.
Two, the Timberwolves are coming off a double-digit loss. In this bounce-back spot, they are 5-3 ATS and 8-0 SU, with wins over Denver, Dallas and New Orleans.
Matchup Factor
L.A., the favored team, will not score as much as it needs to to cover the spread. The Lakers prefer to score at the basket, but the Timberwolves allow the fewest field goals made and the second-lowest field goal percentage within five feet of the basket.
Minnesota has several good on-ball defenders who can contain dribble penetration and an annual Defensive Player of the Year candidate in Rudy Gobert, their elite rim protector.
The Timberwolves have this unique defensive advantage in the game, and they are in a good spot to win.
