The Los Angeles Lakers visit the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers (17-15) will close out 2023 with one more road trip. This trip consists of two games in two nights, beginning on Saturday versus Minnesota, the team that owns the best record in the Western Conference. It is first in points per game allowed and defensive rating, and it has won 12 of its last 15 contests.
Anthony Edwards has been turning up his game lately. The 22-year-old star guard is coming off a season-high 44 points in a win over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday.
These two teams played each other on Dec. 21, with the Timberwolves defeating the LeBron James-less Lakers 118-111. James will be celebrating his 39th birthday on Saturday.
