As referenced in our prior play, the Knicks sent Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo to Minnesota to acquire Karl-Anthony Towns, so you have a Minnesota team that is looking to take the next step here, and remember this Timberwolves team that beat the World Champion Nuggets in seven games last year, only to fall to the Mavs in the Western Conference Finals, so they think this trade can put them over the top. Anthony Edwards is looking to have even more of a breakout year than last season, maybe even looking for the MVP this season. The Lakers are the Lakers, constantly a disappointment, and they pretty much go as Anthony Davis goes, but AD constantly gets hurt and he's another year older and slower now. I think the Wolves come in here focused and get their first win at The Crypt.
