Lakers vs. Timberwolves
The story of this series has been the Lakers’ inability to keep up with the Timberwolves in the paint. Minnesota has outscored the Lakers 146-104 through the first three games of the series in these short-range attempts, and there's reason to believe this trend will continue.
Ever since trading away Anthony Davis, the Lakers haven't had a real rim-defending presence. Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle have been able to have their way with this Los Angeles frontline that gave up 64.5% shooting at the rim on the season, one of the worst rates in the league.
Minnesota dominated both wins in this series, and Los Angeles needed a terrible shooting game by the Timberwolves in Game 2 in order to steal one at home. Minnesota has shown they're the better team despite the stars on the Lakers. I expect them to take care of business and dominate the paint again in Game 4.
Pick: Timberwolves -3 (-110)
