Through 3 Quarters
Down five at the end of last quarter, the Minnesota Timberwolves have now snagged the lead. Three quarters in and their offense has really been able to impose its will, dominating the Los Angeles Lakers 86-61 three quarters in.
Center Karl-Anthony Towns has led the way so far for Minnesota, as he has 27 points along with six boards. A double-double would be Towns' third in a row. One thing to keep an eye out for is Jaden McDaniels' foul situation as he currently sits at four.
Los Angeles has been led by power forward Anthony Davis, who so far has 22 points in addition to seven rebounds and three blocks. A double-double would be AD's third in a row. AD has also picked up four fouls, though.
This is the least points the Lakers have had yet this year going into the fourth quarter.

What to Know
The Los Angeles Lakers will play host again and welcome the Minnesota Timberwolves to Staples Center, where tip-off is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET on Friday. If the contest is anything like the Lakers' 137-121 victory from their previous meeting in March, the scorekeeper will be kept real busy.
It may have taken overtime to finish the job, but Los Angeles ultimately got the result they were hoping for on Wednesday with a 120-117 win over the Miami Heat. Los Angeles can attribute much of their success to shooting guard Malik Monk, who had 27 points in addition to six rebounds, and point guard Russell Westbrook, who posted a triple-double on 25 points, 14 assists, and 12 boards. Westbrook now has three triple-doubles this year.
Meanwhile, Minnesota received a tough blow on Wednesday as they fell 123-110 to the Golden State Warriors. Shooting guard Anthony Edwards did his best for Minnesota, finishing with 48 points (a whopping 44% of their total) and five dimes along with five rebounds.
Barring any buzzer beaters, Los Angeles is expected to win a tight contest. They hadn't treated bettors all too well in the past (they are 4-8), but they might be worth taking a chance on now after beating the spread two games in a row.
The Lakers are now 7-5 while the Timberwolves sit at 3-7. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Los Angeles is stumbling into the game with the second most fouls per game in the league, having accrued 21.3 on average. Minnesotas have had an even harder time: they are worst in the league in fouls per game, with 23.3 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
