Analysis

#571 LA LAKERS (+) over Minnesota at 3:30 PM EST Checking in hungry off that 116-104 road loss in Game 3, the Lakers will be primed and ready to pull off this minor upset. Los Angeles is trailing 2-1 in this best-of-seven series and head coach JJ Redick will make sure his squad understands the importance of this victory. Technically speaking this is a highly profitable spot for the visitors. As a guest coming off a straight up loss in the NBA Playoffs, LA holds a reliable 18-7 ATS record provided its opponent enters off a blowout win of nine points or more. In this situation priced as an underdog of +2.5 or more, the Lakers improve to a healthy 12-2 ATS. Also, when storming the court angry off a double-digit straight up loss, Los Angeles has bounced back nicely inking an elite 35-22 SU and 36-21 ATS mark including an outstanding 34-18 SU and 35-17 ATS provided neither participant is rolling with four or more days of rest. With those two parameters in play and Coach Redick and his crew battling a foe that holds a team won/loss percentage of .580 or higher, this situation tightens up to a spectacular 12-2 ATS. Minnesota's 19-5 SU and 15-9 ATS run is certainly noted and respected. However, in the Twin Cities checking in off a straight up home win, the Timberwolves hold a feeble 29-52-1 ATS record provided they are going into same season revenge. As long as head coach Chris Finch and his kids are facing an opponent that played on the road last, this power angle falls to an embarrassing 10-36 ATS including a shocking 4-29-1 ATS provided Minny is not off a blowout victory of 19 points or more. With those three parameters in play and the T'Wolves facing a non-division foe, this situation crashes to a hideous 1-25-1 ATS including a stunning 0-22-1 ATS provided Minnesota did not fall to the Las Vegas pointspread by one-point or more last. Even if Lakers star Luke Doncic is not at full strength (bothered by a stomach bug in the Game 3 loss), the Coach Redick will rally the troops and pick up a huge win here. Take Los Angeles. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
