We like the Minnesota Timberwolves @ Los Angeles Lakers to finish OVER the total on Tuesday at 10:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Three out of the four games last season between these teams went OVER the total, including both of the ones played in this arena.

Minnesota finished last year having gone OVER in seven of their last 10 conference games.

The Lakers finished the season having seen nine of the last twelve home games go OVER.

Los Angeles averaged 118 points per game last season which was the 6th most in the NBA.

Even after shooting third best from 3pt land last year, Minnesota brought in another shooter in Donte DiVincenzo this offseason to help improve even more.

The stars will be out to put on a show on Opening Night. We're expecting a faster pace and higher scoring game to kick the season off.
