2. December 25 at L.A. Lakers

Wolves fans will be able to watch their favorite team on Christmas Day. It is a late game, too, starting at 9:30 p.m. Central Time, so be sure to get your Christmas activities done before then.

Like the Wolves, the Lakers have some nice young talent. They are not expected to compete for the playoffs, but it will be very interesting to see how rookie Lonzo Ball does this season. Oh, and there’s a good chance that his father, LaVar, will have something to say something about this game.

The Lakers, by the way, were the Wolves last playoff opponent — back in 2004. This is certainly not a playoff-type match-up, but it will still be a very fun game. And a nice chance for the Wolves to gain more exposure, too.
