Timofey Mozgov will have an intriguing match up with Myles Turner since Mozgov used to play in the Eastern Conference.

Therefore, he would be expected to know him very well, giving him the ability to predict what his next basketball move will be.

Mozgov matches up fairly well with Turner as they both can make their free throws and jump shots. Not only that but they are also great defenders in the front court.

Unfortunately for the Lakers, Mozgov may be a tiny bit slower than Turner.

Mozgov has more experience on his side. His extra years of experience may help him win the matchup tonight.

This is one of even matches to watch for tonight.
