Game Preview

The Los Angeles Lakers see a path to the playoffs this season, and the guide for an adventurous late-season ride is Anthony Davis.

The eight-time All-Star will be asked to lead the way again on Friday night when the Lakers take on the Minnesota Timberwolves at Minneapolis.

Both the Lakers and Timberwolves enter the game just outside of a top-six in the Western Conference standings.
