The Lakers are tremendous favorites to win tonight as the Minnesota Timberwolves come to town.

The Los Angeles Lakers will host the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight from the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles.  Game time is 10:30pm ET and LA are huge favorites to win the game straight up.

Minnesota have not proven anything so far this season as they are 1-6 overall and 0-4 on the road.  At -3300 with Victor Chandler the Lakers have to be considered as much of a lock as any team can be.

Minnesota backers can find the Timberwolves at +3300 (33/1) with Coral, odds that could actually be considered more than fair.

The Lakers last game was against Portland from downtown Los Angeles, a team that has to be considered to be better than Minnesota.  LA still put up a huge 25 point spread and for that reason a -16.5 spread looks good to be covered tonight with bet365 at odds of -110.

The Lakers are averaging 114 points per game so far this season with Pau Gasol leading the way so far.  You have to think they will beat their average tonight at home against the Timberwolves and score somewhere near 120 to 125 points.

With the OVER/UNDER for total points set at 215 (bet365) you have to like the chances of this game playing OVER.
