Minnesota vs LA Lakers: Prediction and Odds on the Match on 26 April 2025

The LA Lakers took one of two home meetings with Minnesota and now head to Minneapolis. Will the superstar Californians be able to succeed again and regain home court advantage? The answer's in our prediction. Let's take a look at the stats, the odds from the bookies, and pick a few bets for this game

Minnesota

The Timberwolves did well to win one of the two opening games against the Lakers. Now Chris Finch's team has home court advantage, even though they only took fifth place in the regular season.

Well, the first game of the series was a pretty confident win for Minnesota, with a final score of 117–95. In the second game, though, the Wolves were chasing the whole time, and it was only in the end that they managed to catch up and win by a double-digit margin (85:94).

LA Lakers

It wasn't the first time LeBron James started a playoff series with a loss, so the Lakers' victory in the second game was pretty much expected. The Lakers have a superstar lineup now, and they've confirmed their status as one of the main championship favourites.

Luka Doncic was the star of the show in the second game, scoring 31 points, grabbing 12 rebounds and dishing out 9 assists. LeBron James also had a good lineup - 21 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists.

Minnesota vs LA Lakers Match Prediction 26 April 2025

In the second game of the series, the Lakers showed that they are the team to beat. Yeah, Minnesota's got a solid team, but let's be real, it's gonna be a challenge for the Timberwolves to keep up with LeBron James and Luka Doncic. So, we think the Lakers are being underestimated in the next game. We're putting money on JJ Reddick's team and the total over, as the total looks way too under for this game.
