Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert and the Minnesota Timberwolves will look to contain Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam and a dangerous Indiana Pacers offense on Thursday night, the first of six games on the road for the Wolves. Karl-Anthony Towns will miss this matchup with left knee soreness.
This is the front end of the Timberwolves’ fourth back-to-back set in the last two weeks. They are 3-0 in the second game of those sets, but are just 1-2 in opening games.
Minnesota is coming off Monday’s 119-114 win over a depleted Portland Trail Blazers team, while Indiana will look to replicate their performance from a 137-120 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday.
