Luka Dončić debuts his postseason showmanship in Lakers gold against a familiar opponent in Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves.

Doncic and LeBron James give Los Angeles arguably the best duo in the Western Conference, but winning the opening series won't be easy against a young and hungry Timberwolves team led by the rising superstar Edwards.

The Los Angeles Lakers opened the preseason and regular season against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and now they’ll open the postseason against them as well. The No. 3 seed Lakers will host the No. 6 Timberwolves in the first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs.
