The Los Angeles Lakers return to the court for the first time in five days with a chance for redemption as they take on the Minnesota Timberwolves. Austin Reaves is listed as probable and expected to return from a left pelvic contusion after missing the last five games, but LeBron James is missing his second straight contest with left foot soreness.
When these teams met just a couple of weeks ago, the Lakers put forth one of their most embarrassing efforts of the season, managing a season-low 80 points in a 29-point loss. LeBron and Anthony Davis combined for just 22 points, the Lakers committed 20 turnovers and allowed the Timberwolves to make 15 3-pointers on the night.
