Lakers – Timberwolves: Mandatory victory for the Angelos against Wolves in the middle of a storm
Los Angeles Lakers: a workforce finally complete before approaching these final stages
By hosting the eighth in the West, Minnesota, the Lakers enter this Play-In with the obligation to win at least one meeting in the next two (in case of defeat in this first game).
Without looking like a team capable of playing in the NBA playoffs throughout the season, the Lakers and their very good end to the season: nine wins out of their last eleven games allowed them to conclude the 2022/23 regular season with a record of 43 wins for 39 losses. Led by a LeBron James well back after long weeks of absence and an Anthony Davis left alone by injuries, it is with a consistent major five that the angelo franchise will receive the T-Wolves with the status of favorite of this confrontation. .
Minnesota Timberwolves: without Gobert suspended by his team, McDaniels and Reid injured, a task made complicated
The end of Minnesota’s regular season is a nightmare. Able to lose against Blazers demobilized or defeated by these same Lakers ten days ago, it was finally in full roar that the last victories of the franchise were gleaned. Already deprived for a week of their replacement but precious pivot, Naz Reid, it was during the last game of the regular season that things got even tougher. In having to absolutely win against the Pelicans, direct opponents in this race for the Play-In, Rudy Gobert and his teammate Kyle Anderson came to blows before Jaden McDaniels hit a wall in rage, breaking his hand like the revealed a radio passed this Monday.
With options that will therefore be very limited at the pivot position, the young Luka Garza should therefore start this meeting against the Lakers, a real thorn in the side of Timberwolves who should suffer in the racket against the physique of Davis, Vanderbilt and LeBron James , three assets that make Minnesota a real outsider in this meeting.
