Game Preview #27: Wolves vs. Lakers

The Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers are coming off losses on the road last night. The Timberwolves have yet to drop two straight games this season, and the Lakers are trying to get back in a groove following their In-Season Tournament Championship as they are currently on a three-game losing skid. However, it will be an uphill battle for Los Angeles, as they will be without LeBron James and possibly Anthony Davis as well.
