When the Minnesota Timberwolves dispatched the Los Angeles Lakers with ease in last year’s first round, it was largely a credit to how easily their defense mitigated the Lakers’ post game. Removing rim runners from Luka Doncic’s peripheral vision reduces Doncic’s overall effectiveness.

Luka Doncic is trading at -115 for the Over 31.5 points, and that’s a number worth attacking given that I price it closer to -170. This sets up as a rivalry game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves, and with the Lakers off yesterday and another off day tomorrow, there’s little reason to expect any limitation on Doncic’s workload. In what should be a competitive matchup, 38+ minutes is very much in play. Minnesota does have an excellent defender in Jaden McDaniels to throw at Doncic, but this bet is more about volume than efficiency. Doncic is always willing to take on a heavy scoring load, and that tendency only increases when things get personal. He has a well-documented rivalry with Rudy Gobert, and whenever he gets Gobert switched onto him in isolation, the shot is almost always going up. In those moments, Doncic has a habit of turning into a flamethrower from deep.

The Los Angeles Lakers check in as the 6th-highest scoring offense in the NBA over the last 5 games.. The 7th-most up-tempo pace-of-play team in the league over the last 5 games has been the Los Angeles Lakers.. The Timberwolves have played at the 8th-speediest pace-of-play in the league over the last 25 games, which should lead to more opportunities for the Lakers.

Donte DiVincenzo has notched 18.0 points per game over the last 5 games away from home, 4.6 higher than he's notched overall this year on the road.. The Timberwolves have been the highest scoring offense in the NBA when playing on the road this year.. The matchup against Los Angeles is a positive one for shots from the field; when the Lakers are playing at home, opposing starting PGs have totaled the 7th-most shot attempts per game in the league this year (15.6).. The Minnesota Timberwolves have played at the 8th-most up-tempo pace-of-play in the league over the last 25 games.. The Timberwolves will likely see an increase in opportunities in this game from competing against the 7th-fastest pace-of-play team in the league over the last 5 games (the Lakers).
