Somehow I fully expected a video of "how Lakers star Luka Doncic spent his Saturday" to be a quest for the best for the best Juicy Lucy in Minneapolis.

Yes, for those that don't know. Juicy Lucy is really a hamburger, so don't get any wrong ideas.

The Nuggets had a stomach bug issue and I think Murray was questionable for Game 2.

In Game 3 he seemed better and by Game 4 I wasn't even thinking about the issue any longer.

If Luka has a similar trajectory he should be a lot better today.

Wolves role players haven't had a great game for 3 games in a row now. Part of that was due to lakers defense but i think this game they will finally wake up. Wolves only had 13 3-point makes in game 3 and still won game 3. NAW was 1/3, Reid was 2/5 and DVO was 2/8.

Luka looks to be only 70% and Lebron only had 1.5 days of rest. Game 3 was the lakers chance of taking the lead and they got gassed by the 4th quarter and that was after an extra days rest. I feel a repeat of Game 1 coming with wolves being very comfortable from the jump.

Yeah but he’s been terrible because Luka has been hunting him and I saw a highlight where it even worked one time :roll:
