Los Angeles Lakers Form
Los Angeles go into Game 3 of this series looking to rebound from a Game 3 defeat and level the series at 2-2 before returning home.
The Lakers began the series with back-to-back home games, but failed to take full advantage of that as they split those meetings with Minnesota.
They opened their postseason campaign with a 117-95 defeat, only to rebound in the second meeting with a 94-85 victory.
Los Angeles failed to follow that up in their first road game of the series though, as they lost 116-104 to go 2-1 down.
The Lakers earned their postseason berth by compiling a 50-32 regular-season record to finish third in the Western Conference standings.
Minnesota Timberwolves Form
Minnesota enter this home game knowing that another victory here will give them a shot at clinching the series in Game 5.
The Timberwolves made the perfect start to the postseason as they knocked off the Lakers in Los Angeles, 117-95.
They failed to follow that up as they lost the second meeting, 94-85, but that road win did give them a slight advantage heading into their back-to-back home games.
Minnesota then regained the series lead as they downed the Lakers 116-104 in Game 3 on Friday.
The Timberwolves earned their place in the playoffs by compiling a 49-33 regular-season record to finish sixth in the Western Conference.
Verdict
Another meeting between these two teams, another victory for the team playing at home.
It is impossible to ignore this trend, so we are backing Minnesota to extend their series lead with a win on Sunday.
