November 28 vs Minnesota Timberwolves

Assuming the trade for Kevin Love is completed on August 23rd, the Timberwolves will go from middle of the road veterans to young and confused. Whose team is it, and who takes the last shot will be the largest questions looming in the Wolves locker room. Certainly Flip Saunders won’t want Kevin Martin taking those shots, he takes enough in regulation.

The Lakers should be able to expose Minnesota and use their speedy defenders to apply pressure on Wiggins. With a lack of outside shooting touch from Rubio and Wiggins, the Lakers should only have to worry about Martin from the perimeter and three point arc. With adequate defense, it should be an easy night for LA.
