Timberwolves vs. Lakers: Public Bettors Leaning Towards L.A.
Our NBA Public Betting Information page indicates that 53% of public bettors are currently backing the Lakers when it comes to the spread. This information is subject to change throughout the day, however, so be sure to check the link so you’re receiving the most up-to-date public betting data.
Edwards Questionable to Face Lakers
Anthony Edwards (left ankle soreness) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Lakers. Edwards was also questionable for Friday’s game against the Cavaliers, a game he would play 42 minutes in. If he does not play on Sunday, Nickeil Alexander-Walker would be the next man up and is worth streaming in deep leagues. However, Edwards has been the type to play through pain, so fantasy managers should anticipate the All-Star guard being on the court in Los Angeles.
Davis Questionable to face Timberwolves
Anthony Davis (left shoulder soreness) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves. Davis managed to finish Friday’s win over Milwaukee despite injuring his shoulder at some point in the second half, which he favored throughout the fourth quarter. The good news is that he’s dealing with soreness instead of something more serious. Should Davis not play on Sunday, Jaxson Hayes would be the next man up and is only worth streaming in deep leagues.
