Live from Los Angeles, the Lakers host the Minnesota Timberwolves in this must-see NBA Play-in game!

The NBA Playoffs begin tonight as the Lakers and Twolves collide on TNT. The winner earns the No. 7 seed, while the loser will play the winner of tomorrow night’s Pelicans/Thunder matchup for the No. 8 spot. Minnesota will be without Rudy Gobert (suspension) and Jaden McDaniels (injury), while Los Angeles looks to be relatively healthy as they prepare for a possible first-round series against the Memphis Grizzlies (if they win tonight) or Denver Nuggets (if they lose tonight but win on Friday) .

Both teams enter tonight’s matchup on winning streaks, with the Lakers winning eight of their last ten and the Timberwolves ending the regular season on a 7-3 run. Our prediction? Prepare for a 112-97 Lakers victory.
