Minnesota Timberwolves vs Los Angeles Lakers: Storylines

It's been a nightmare season for the Minnesota Timberwolves thus far. D'Angelo Russell has missed multiple games with injuries, while Karl-Anthony Towns was also hurt and had a bout with Covid-19. On the bright side, first-overall pick Anthony Edwards is getting more playing time and they look poised to get a top-3 pick in the upcoming draft as well.

As for the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James is having an MVP-caliber season but they've struggled to close out games, especially vs. lesser rivals. And now that Anthony Davis is set to miss some time, the reigning champions could slide in the standings of the Western Conference, with the Los Angeles Clippers looming around to take their spot.
