Playoff intensity = slower games. Timberwolves elite at home – allow 108.9 PPG, 45.9% opp FG%. Last 5 games even better – just 102.0 PPG allowed. Lakers offense fading – 104.4 PPG last 5. Target Center rocks on defense, expect a slow, ugly game. Lakers defense playoff-ready – allow 103.4 PPG last 5. Hold teams to 46.3% shooting all season. Wolves score 114.0 PPG but expect playoff slowdown. Lakers grind playoff games, control pace, limit easy looks. Slower possessions = lower total. Target Center history says it all – Under 8-2 last 10. Lakers 18-7-1 in First Round. Last 2 playoff games: 212 total, 179 total – both clear Unders. Big playoff energy, big defensive effort incoming Friday night.

Tailing @TurveyBets. Scary but Luka averaging 5 assists per game against MIN this season and specifically in this series, he’s averaging 5 assists off 9.5 assist chances per game so I understand the logic of the bet.

I like grabbing Ant here after a rougher Game 2. The Lakers threw zone at him and it messed up his game. Now with time between these games he should be better prepared for that defensive scheme. Role players also play better at home and I can see some additional shots falling for them. Last game was HEAVY on Randle-ball, which is less than optimal for this Wolves team. I expect a realignment behind their best player tonight.

Trend likes Wolves 1h but this is a 2h team. +7.8 net 2h, including +13.2 at home. Lakers +6.9 1h but -4.7 2h on the season are the exact opposite and that’s borne out. Wolves won 2h both playoff games by 11 and 6. Also won all four regular season so 6-0 2h by 7.7ppg. If they’re behind, they’ll make their usual push. If they’re ahead, lakers could decide to rest LeBron Luka at one point with Sunday tip just 39 hours later, fastest turnaround of the season. Lakers have 22 double digit losses this season, as many as wins and more than any other top 6 seed. Sometimes it just gets away. Time to play the escalator.
