11 Mar
Summary
- Lakers seek season sweep against Timberwolves on Tuesday.
- Doncic scored 49 points in a prior win against Minnesota.
- Timberwolves are third in conference, Lakers in fifth.

The Los Angeles Lakers are aiming to complete a season sweep of the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night, having won both previous matchups. The teams have not met since October, when the Lakers secured victories by 18 and 1 point respectively. Luka Doncic posted a season-high 49 points in their first encounter.
The Lakers, currently fifth in the Western Conference, are on a strong run, winning five of their last six games. Their recent 110-97 victory against the New York Knicks saw strong performances from Doncic (35 points) and Austin Reaves (25 points), even with LeBron James sidelined due to injury.
The Minnesota Timberwolves, holding third place in the conference, are seeking to rebound from a decisive 119-92 loss to the Orlando Magic. Their offense struggled, shooting a season-low percentage from the field and from beyond the arc. Coach Chris Finch noted issues with finishing and offensive rhythm, while Rudy Gobert emphasized the need for greater mental resilience and toughness from the team.
