Minnesota begins a four-game home stand tonight against Phoenix. The Suns are riding an eight-game winning streak and get starting center Deandre Ayton back in the lineup. This would be a fantastic win if the Wolves came together and played like their talent indicates that they can, but I'm certainly not expecting that. I'd at least like a competitive game instead of a 30-point blowout. I feel like that's not too much to ask for.

Naz Reid is out tonight and Nathan Knight is on G-League assignment. Minnesota will be microscopic in the paint tonight.

They called Nathan Knight back

Patrick Beverley
D'Angelo Russell
Anthony Edwards
Jarred Vanderbilt
Karl-Anthony Towns

Same starting lineup for the third straight game. I like this lineup, but I wonder what Chris Finch will do given that there's no Naz Reid or Nathan Knight coming off the bench tonight. Vanderbilt small ball five?

I haven't seen that, but thank goodness. I hope he plays well.

Make sense why we haven't been making shots bucket has been crooked all year lol

Embarrassing. Minnesota has an issue with one of the hoops. Remember there was about an hour delay for this a couple years ago. This franchise really is trash.

This is a our first game of the season against a team not missing a key player. A win would be significant.

Feels like the Suns are playing much better basketball than the Wolves, but it's the Wolves up four midway through the opening quarter.

I don't mean to pile on here, but I would of been way more impressive if Towns would of dumped it off to McDaniels for a dunk instead going up against 2 defenders for a tough put back on that offensive rebound.
