Prediction
I can see this series going the full seven games with the home team winning each one of them. So, I’ll go with the Lakers in Game 1. L.A. played well down the stretch and were tested more than Minnesota. The T’wolves won their last nine games, but only one of them was against a playoff team. LeBron and Doncic are ready for a big playoff run and it begins tonight.
Pick: Lakers -4
