The Minnesota Timberwolves are set to face off against the struggling Los Angeles Lakers in a game that promises to be a slow-paced battle. The Timberwolves, who have won four of their last five games, will be looking to continue their recent success despite a loss in their previous outing. On the other hand, the Lakers have struggled recently, winning only three of their last ten games after a strong start to the season. Both teams prefer to play at a slow pace, with Minnesota ranked 24th in pace and Los Angeles at 20th. This has translated into lower offensive production, with the Lakers ranked 18th in points scored and the Timberwolves at 20th. Although the home team has won both matchups between these teams this season, the Timberwolves have historically had an edge over the Lakers, winning nine of their last 13 games against them. Fans can catch all the action at 8 ET on NBA League Pass.
