LeBron James and the red-hot Lakers look to keep their winning streak alive as they host the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight at 10:30 p.m. ET at Crypto.com Arena.
The Lakers are riding high after taking down the Mavericks, Nuggets, and Trail Blazers in their last three games. They’re favored by 5.5 points at home.
LeBron’s been absolutely crushing it in February, putting up monster numbers – 29 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 7.4 assists per game. He’s looking like a lock for Player of the Month.
The King should be good to go tonight despite a minor foot issue that has him listed as probable.
The Timberwolves are coming off an exhausting overtime win against the Thunder on Monday – one of the most incredible comebacks we’ve seen all season. But that emotional victory might come back to haunt them tonight.
They’re also dealing with some key injuries. Rudy Gobert’s out with a back problem, and Julius Randle won’t suit up due to a groin injury.
There’s a chance the Wolves could get Donte DiVincenzo back – he’s been upgraded to questionable after missing several games with a toe injury. But now Anthony Edwards is questionable with a sore calf after that marathon game against OKC.
Luka Doncic is coming in hot after dropping his first triple-double in LA on Tuesday against his former team. He’ll be looking to keep that momentum going tonight.

The Lakers are trying to keep pace with the top four seeds in the Western Conference, while Minnesota’s hoping to avoid letting fatigue and injuries derail their recent success.
