Minnesota @ LA Lakers 9:35 PM ET

Game# 513-514

Play On: Over 219.0 (5*)

I’ve followed NBA situations such as these very closely during the past few season, and made some valuable observations while doing so. When NBA teams who are eliminated from playoff contention face one another in the final 2 weeks of regular season action, those games go over the rate at a very high rate. As a matter of fact, 8 games have met that criteria since 3/29/17, and 6 of those went over the total. The only 2 games that didn’t go over the number involved Sacramento.

The Timberwolves and Lakers have met 3 times this season, and each one of those contests went over the total. There was a combined average of 232.0 points scored per game. Furthermore, dating back to 2015, the last 7 meeting between these teams have all gone over the total.

Both teams have been horrible defensively during each of their previous 5 games. During that time frame, Minnesota has allowed 115.6 points per game, and their opponents have shot a combined 51.0% while converting on an alarmingly high 45.4% of its 3-point attempts. Conversely, the Lakers have allowed their opponents to shoot 49.3% and make 42.0% of their 3-point attempts. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager.

The Lakers like to push the pace under new head coach Luke Walton. However, they’ll be facing an Atlanta team which is adept at slowing the tempo of its contests, and turning them into half court games. Besides, this will be the Lakers 3rd road game in 4 days. Most times than not that prompts tired legs, and especially affects teams like the Lakers which lack quality depth.
