The Timberwolves, sitting at a 25-21 record, also have a few injuries to contend with as they prepare for this pivotal matchup. Terrence Shannon (ankle) and Donte DiVincenzo (toe) have both been ruled out, while Robert Dillingham is listed as questionable due to illness. Although their injuries may impact the Timberwolves’ rotation, they will still rely heavily on Anthony Edwards, who has been in stellar form, averaging 26.8 points per game over the past 20 games.
With the Timberwolves’ top players like Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert, who leads the team with 10.3 rebounds per game, stepping up in these players’ absence, the Timberwolves remain a formidable team despite the injuries.
Both teams are currently in the playoff mix, with the Phoenix Suns at 24-21 and the Timberwolves slightly ahead at 25-21. Phoenix has struggled defensively this season, ranking 18th in points allowed per game, while Minnesota has been more balanced, ranking fourth in the league for points allowed. With Kevin Durant’s potential absence hanging over the Suns’ heads, this game could prove critical for both teams as they look to solidify their postseason positioning.
