(507) Minnesota Timberwolves at (508) Los Angeles Lakers
8:30pm EDT - Apr 19/2025

THE PLAY: Minnesota Timberwolves +4.0 (-108)

With Doncic, James and co. the Lakers obviously have a very formidable offense. However, Minnesota's Anthony Anderson may well prove to be the most dangerous player on the court. Anderson can knock shots down from the outside but he also loves to drive to the net. He's going to provide a real test for the Lakers' potentially suspect perimeter defense. Anderson and co. gained valuable postseason experience last year, including a sweep of the Suns in the first round. Expect them to give the Lakers all that they can handle in Game 1. 

In addition to being this year's best handicapper, Ben Burns is the #1 NBA Handicapper of All-Time.
