Forecast for Los Angeles Lakers - Minnesota November 8, 2018, Thursday. You can watch the broadcast of the match online in Russia on the website of the bookmaker Liga Stavok - bets are also accepted there. “Minnesota still won’t get its first away win of the season. Now the Wolves have 6 defeats. Will Tom Thibideau's team be able to improve their statistics in the match with the Lakers?
“Ozerny” is still having a hard time winning. LeBron James is trying his best, but the Lakers' young players don't always play consistently. True, with each fight their confidence increases. In order to somehow balance the roster, the team management continues to look for players who could strengthen the roster. One of those should be Wilson Chandler. The ex-Suns player broke his contract with the Suns and should soon join the ranks of the Lakers.
“Minnesota” is far from its ideal playing form. At the moment, the “wolves” do not look like a single team, but resemble some kind of team of stars, in which each of the players “pulls the blanket over themselves.” In addition, Timberwolves leader Jimmy Butler may not play in this meeting. He has been complaining about health problems for a long time. But the team management demands that he go on the floor.
A week ago, Minnesota beat the Lakers at home with a score of 124-120. But on the road, the Wolves play much worse. We believe that this time the native walls will help the Lakers and they will take revenge. Forecast: Lakers win with a handicap of 5 at 1.78.
On Monday, July 23, Minnesota and Los Angeles will close the next MLS round. The match will begin at 02:00 Moscow time. Forecast for Minnesota - Los Angeles.

The sun is the source of life on the planet. Its rays provide the necessary light and warmth. At the same time, ultraviolet radiation from the Sun is destructive to all living things. To find a compromise between the beneficial and harmful properties of the Sun, meteorologists calculate the ultraviolet radiation index, which characterizes the degree of its danger.
Ultraviolet radiation from the Sun has a wide range and is divided into three regions, two of which reach the Earth.
The rays pass almost freely through all atmospheric “barriers” and reach the Earth.
The rays are 90% absorbed by the ozone layer, carbon dioxide and water vapor.
The most dangerous area. They are completely absorbed by stratospheric ozone without reaching the Earth.
The more ozone, clouds and aerosols in the atmosphere, the less the harmful effects of the Sun. However, these life-saving factors have a high natural variability. The annual maximum of stratospheric ozone occurs in spring, and the minimum in autumn. Cloudiness is one of the most variable characteristics of weather. The carbon dioxide content also changes all the time.
The UV index provides an estimate of the amount of UV radiation from the Sun at the Earth's surface. UV index values range from a safe 0 to an extreme 11+.
In mid-latitudes, the UV index approaches unsafe values (6–7) only at the maximum height of the Sun above the horizon (occurs in late June - early July). At the equator, the UV index reaches 9...11+ points throughout the year.
In small doses, UV radiation from the Sun is simply necessary. The sun's rays synthesize melanin, serotonin, and vitamin D, which are necessary for our health, and prevent rickets.
Melanin creates a kind of protective barrier for skin cells from the harmful effects of the Sun. Because of it, our skin darkens and becomes more elastic.
The hormone of happiness serotonin affects our well-being: it improves mood and increases overall vitality.
Vitamin D strengthens the immune system, stabilizes blood pressure and performs anti-rickets functions.
When sunbathing, it is important to understand that the line between the beneficial and harmful Sun is very thin. Excessive tanning always borders on a burn. Ultraviolet radiation damages DNA in skin cells.
The body's defense system cannot cope with such aggressive influence. It lowers immunity, damages the retina, causes skin aging and can lead to cancer.
Ultraviolet light destroys the DNA chain
Sensitivity to UV radiation depends on skin type. People of the European race are the most sensitive to the Sun - for them, protection is required already at index 3, and 6 is considered dangerous.
At the same time, for Indonesians and African Americans this threshold is 6 and 8, respectively.
People with fair hair
skin tone
People with many moles
Residents of mid-latitudes during a holiday in the south
Winter lovers
fishing
Skiers and climbers
People with a family history of skin cancer
It is a common misconception that the sun is dangerous only in hot and clear weather. You can also get sunburned in cool, cloudy weather.
Cloudiness, no matter how dense it may be, does not reduce the amount of ultraviolet radiation to zero. In mid-latitudes, cloudiness significantly reduces the risk of getting sunburned, which cannot be said about traditional beach holiday destinations. For example, in the tropics, if in sunny weather you can get sunburned in 30 minutes, then in cloudy weather - in a couple of hours.
To protect yourself from harmful rays, follow simple rules:
Spend less time in the sun during midday hours
Wear light-colored clothing, including wide-brimmed hats
Use protective creams
Wear sunglasses
Stay in the shade more on the beach
Sunscreens vary in their degree of sun protection and are labeled from 2 to 50+. The numbers indicate the proportion of solar radiation that overcomes the protection of the cream and reaches the skin.
For example, when applying a cream labeled 15, only 1/15 (or 7 %) of the ultraviolet rays will penetrate the protective film. In the case of cream 50, only 1/50, or 2 %, affects the skin.
Sunscreen creates a reflective layer on the body. However, it is important to understand that no cream can reflect 100% of ultraviolet radiation.
For everyday use, when the time spent under the Sun does not exceed half an hour, a cream with protection 15 is quite suitable. For tanning on the beach, it is better to take 30 or higher. However, for fair-skinned people it is recommended to use a cream labeled 50+.
The cream should be applied evenly to all exposed skin, including the face, ears and neck. If you plan to sunbathe for a long time, then the cream should be applied twice: 30 minutes before going out and, additionally, before going to the beach.
Please check the cream instructions for the required volume for application.
Sunscreen should be applied every time after swimming. Water washes away the protective film and, by reflecting the sun's rays, increases the dose of ultraviolet radiation received. Thus, when swimming, the risk of sunburn increases. However, due to the cooling effect, you may not feel the burn.
Excessive sweating and wiping with a towel are also reasons to re-protect the skin.
It should be remembered that on the beach, even under an umbrella, the shade does not provide complete protection. Sand, water and even grass reflect up to 20% of ultraviolet rays, increasing their impact on the skin.
Sunlight reflected from water, snow or sand can cause painful burns to the retina. To protect your eyes, wear sunglasses with a UV filter.
In the mountains, the atmospheric “filter” is thinner. For every 100 meters of height, the UV index increases by 5 %.
Snow reflects up to 85 % of ultraviolet rays. In addition, up to 80 % of the ultraviolet reflected by the snow cover is reflected again by clouds.
Thus, in the mountains the Sun is most dangerous. It is necessary to protect your face, lower chin and ears even in cloudy weather.
Use a damp sponge to moisten the burn.
Apply anti-burn cream to the burned areas
If your temperature rises, consult your doctor; you may be advised to take an antipyretic
If the burn is severe (the skin swells and blisters greatly), seek medical attention
The team that concedes the most plays against the team that scores the least. What to expect from this match? Our forecast is obvious.
Chicago got its first win under Jeremy Colliton, and it was a spectacular game against St. Louis that ended 1-0, with the highlight being Vladimir Tarasenko losing a tooth. The beginning of the recovery from the crisis! No. Before that, there were 8 defeats in a row and the most goals conceded in the league since Ottawa.
In that match, the Chicago goalkeeper repelled 28 shots and kept a clean sheet for the first time since November 2017. The only goal was scored on the power play, and in fact, by the “musicians” defender into his own goal. This was the first penalty implemented under the new coach (8 attempts in 3 matches). And everything taken together gave Colliton reason to say: “I’m happy for the team.” A curtain.
It would seem that things couldn’t get any worse, but look at Los Angeles. Another three defeats in a row (in these matches the “kings” scored 2 more goals) and last place in the NHL table, with a lag of 4 points from the penultimate one. 34 goals were scored throughout the championship, which is an average of two goals per match, the fewest in the league.
"I've never been so embarrassed in my entire hockey career," said Drew Doughty, the Kings' lead defenseman.
The club has slept through the generational change; Los Angeles is the oldest team in the NHL. Both goalkeepers (Jonathan Quick and Jack Campbell) are injured, and the goal is defended by 36-year-old Peter Budaj and debutant Cal Petersen.
Artem Anisimov (Chicago) – 9 points (2+7). The utility coefficient is “-4”.
Ilya Kovalchuk (Los Angeles) – 14 points (5+9), the best result in the team. The utility coefficient is “-9”.
The teams played 46 matches with each other, Chicago won 27, the goal difference was 127:117. Last season, Chicago and Los Angeles met three times, and the Kings won all three times. In total, they have won the last five matches in a row.
It is difficult to choose the best one from two losers. But in order to understand that there will be few goals, you don’t need to have seven spans in your forehead. If we take the last three matches, Los Angeles scored two goals, and Chicago scored three. Total less than 5 with odds of 2.17 seems to us a very reasonable decision. Pari offers
Los Angeles is in disaster, Nikita Kovalchuk's team languishes in last place in the Western Conference standings, with only eleven points after seventeen meetings, four points behind St. Louis, and this despite the fact that the Jazzmen have a game in reserve...
In recent meetings the attack of the “kings” has looked very bad - in the last three matches there were only two goals scored. On the road, LAC also look simply terrible - five defeats in six away games, and in only two away matches this season Los Angeles was able to score more than one goal. In the last meeting, the Kings lost on home ice to the Maple Leaves from Toronto 1-5, I think that in this meeting the guests will expect about the same thing...
Chicago was finally able to win - after an eight-game losing streak, the Blackhawks were still able to rally and defeat St. Louis with a score of 1-0. It is worth noting that in the last match today’s hosts looked very good, primarily in defending their own goal...
At the moment, Chicago is in eleventh place in the Western Conference table, with eighteen points after nineteen meetings, but the team has very great potential, and I think that the Indians will soon return to the top 8. Chicago looks very good on its ice - only three defeats in nine meetings...
Los Angeles is falling apart and it's obvious. The team, to put it mildly, is not playing well in attack, and the defense looks like a holey canvas. I think that even a point for the Kings in this meeting will be an extraordinary event. Chicago win or draw!
