On Sunday afternoon, the Los Angeles Lakers will be in search of their fourth-straight win, one of their best winning streaks in recent memory. Despite the fact that this team could get a top-three draft pick in June's NBA Draft, the focus has been on winning games to show fans what's in store for the future. Today's matchup will feature the Minnesota Timberwolves visiting L.A. and trying to snap their own three-game losing streak. Here's the latest matchup preview, game odds and how to watch the Timberwolves vs. Lakers live streaming online or on television.

Minnesota vs. Los Angeles preview

With both teams out of the NBA Playoff picture already, pride is on the line as they meet with the regular season winding down. Los Angeles comes into this game having won their last three, including wins over playoff teams San Antonio and Memphis. The Timberwolves have lost their last three, all to playoff teams in the West including a 121-107 loss against Golden State and a recent 120-113 loss to the Utah Jazz.

Both teams are expected to be in the draft lottery, although the Lakers could lose their pick if it ends up outside the top three when the team order is determined. Instead, that pick would go to the Philadelphia 76ers. There has been speculation that the Lakers could really use a star like Lonzo Ball on their roster, and the former UCLA star who has declared himself eligible has also indicated he'd want to play for LA.

Minnesota is currently projected to get the No. 7 pick, although that could be higher or lower when the team order is decided in May.

The game odds for today's matchup show the visiting Timberwolves as 5.5-point favorites on the road. They're listed at -220 on the moneyline with the home team a +190 underdog. Today's over/under points total is at 219.5 for the complete game.

Neither team has performed particularly well against the spread in this situation with Minnesota 15-24 away and Los Angeles 16-21-2 at home ATS.
