The Los Angeles Lakers will be looking to build on their recent upswing in form as they make the trip to the rejuvenated Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. This could be a very interesting NBA regular-season clash between two teams that have very contrasting styles of play.
The Los Angeles Lakers appear to be in great knick after a slow start to the season. Led by LeBron James, the Lakers have won each of their last three games and seven of their last ten. They are now up to sixth place in the Western Conference standings. If they are to make a deep playoff run this season, the Lakers will need to continue this form in the coming weeks.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are making a lot of progress this season after years spent rebuilding and struggling. They are currently in ninth place in the Western Conference standings, having earned impressive wins over the Portland Trail Blazers and the Denver Nuggets in their last two games. Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards have formed a very exciting duo, with D'Angelo Russell also making a big impact. Beating the Lakers on Friday would be massive for their confidence.
The game will be broadcast locally in the Los Angeles Lakers market on Spectrum SportsNet and the Bally Sports North in the Minnesota Timberwolves market. Fans who do not live in these states can watch the game live as well, as it will be broadcast live nationally on ESPN with a live stream on fuboTV.
