Dallas Mavericks - Chicago Bulls

I believe after the first match, the Lakers will be more forgiving of Vordele's actions against Edwards after others have been punished and tonight they will let him choose points with the goal of shutting down others. In the first game, he still scored 22 points even though he missed many double shots and didn't throw very well, which I think will change in this game. Edwards is a top-level scorer in the playoffs and I think it's time to play a more efficient game against the Lakers. I am expecting 27+ points.

LeBron already seems to have played poorly in the first game according to his standards, and after a 19-5-3 performance and a loss, I am eagerly waiting for a bounce back from the Lakers star, especially when his back is against the wall and they're down 0-2 both at home. It would be extremely difficult for the Lakers to climb out of that situation.

It is simply necessary for the Lakers to seek revenge today. The Wolves are an unstable team, they played their first game strongly, but the next one may end in defeat for anyone. The Lakers, after the exchange of Luke, seem like a serious team that can achieve something, but their shots did not fall and they lost. It is important to compare the results, as I mentioned, and there is no reason not to believe in them tonight.

So far, out of all 10 playoff games, only 3 ended with a smaller point differential than this one, and both the Nuggets and Clippers doubt which team is more evenly matched. As for the Lakers and Timberwolves, it's hard to say as they seem to be equally strong. Edward is good, but Doncic and James are definitely superior, especially when considering the poor performance of the Lakers at home and their loss in the second game. It is safe to expect the Lakers to dominate. As is usual in the NBA, one team dominates and confidently wins, and since the Lakers have to win now, I think it's best to take their minus points.
