Predictions:
1. Robin Lopez will do a poster dunk on his brother
2. Niko will hit 6 3s
3. LaVine will have a double-double
4. Lauri will dunk 3 times
5. Despite the joy, Hoiberg will play 3rd string team for long period and we will lose

A loss here puts us drafting 6th, would be huge to maintain that for the rest of the season.

Still say it looks like those jerseys are supposed to say “Clippers” on them.

That said, good looking jerseys

We should lose but we won't. Predicting balanced scoring and contribution from the guys tonight

With Dunn being out longer I think we will tank just fine.

Add in a vet trade and we are a lock for top 5

If Grant continues to pound the ball we could lose. After the poor shooting against Philly we will probably hit 15 threes though.

I can't see the Lakers being able to stop Markkanen/Niko/Portis/Lopez.

I’m expecting a lot of points and both teams gunning.

If the ball moves early and often and doesn’t stick in the hands of Grant and Lavine to lesser extent, we should run away with this one.

If not, it could get ugly

Grant never pushes the ball

I can't believe how this team without Dunn looks. He deserves a statue not next to MJ. But on top of him

If Lauri could touch the ball on offense that would be great
