00:00The Timberwolves will take on the Los Angeles Lakers.
00:02Lakers are big favorites to win the series,
00:04but only four-point favorites when they open up the series at home this weekend.
00:08Total of 216.5.
00:11Can the Lakers get the job done in game one?
00:14I guess the problem I see here with this series, Gilbert,
00:16is I honestly don't think home court's going to mean all that much.
00:20I think Minnesota's probably going to go to L.A. and win one game.
00:23I think L.A. is probably going to go to Minnesota, win one game.
00:26Yeah, I can absolutely see that happening in this series.
00:29I don't necessarily think it'll happen in game one,
00:31but I think that we'll quickly realize that these teams are really, really close.
00:35I know the Lakers are very top-heavy with LeBron James, Luka Doncic, and even Austin Reeves.
00:39And Anthony Edwards is right up there in that same tier of player.
00:42But the depth that the Timberwolves have, the Nas Reeds, the Nikhil Alexander-Walkers,
00:47guys like that can make differences in this series.
00:49Dante DiVincenzo, another guy who I see having a big game in this series.
00:53In game one, I think the Lakers, J.J. Wright's going to have this team prepared.
00:56They're playing at home.
00:56The luxury of not having to travel will benefit them.
00:59But I do think there will be adjustments made moving forward.
01:01That being said, I like the Lakers.
01:03So I guess I like both L.A. teams in game one.
