After a grueling 82-game regular season, the NBA postseason is finally here and the Minnesota Timberwolves have a date with the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. It's sure to be a compelling matchup.

In perhaps the most anticipated first-round matchup, it's LeBron James and Luka Doncic vs. Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves.

The Lakers can counter by playing Hayes more, or even Vanderbilt for defense and rebounding, but those lineups haven’t been as effective as their “Lasers Lineup” — two 40-plus 3-point shooters in Finney-Smith and Hachimura around their big three.
