Top Cappers News


The regular-season series between the Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves ended evenly at 2-2, with each team defending home court both straight up and against the spread. Their most recent clash in February saw the Lakers take care of business, winning by nine points as 6-point favorites in Los Angeles. While the Timberwolves closed out the season strong with three consecutive wins, the postseason has always been where the Lakers shine. With LeBron James entering playoff mode and Luka Doncic now in the mix, Los Angeles has the firepower and experience to make another deep run.

Minnesota, meanwhile, may face an unexpected hurdle. After building momentum at the end of the regular season, they were forced into an extended break, sitting idle for a full week. That kind of layoff can disrupt a team’s rhythm, especially one that’s relied on consistent intensity. The Lakers, though aging and banged up, have been smart about managing minutes, setting the stage for a strong Game 1 showing. With a 6-4 ATS record in their last 10 meetings versus Minnesota, Los Angeles is in a good spot to cover and potentially steal this opening matchup. Take LA Lakers ATS
