The Wolves play their sixth-straight Eastern Conference opponent to start the 2019-20 season.
So far, so good.
Minnesota sits at 4-1 overall, tied for first in the Western Conference.
The Wolves will have their hands full in this one, though, going up against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks are 4-2, fourth in the East.
Antetokounmpo is up to his old tricks, averaging 26.7 points, 13.8 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1.8 blocks per game while shooting 58.8 percent from the field. I’d expect Robert Covington to get Antetokounmpo as his defensive assignment.
What makes matters even more difficult for Minnesota will be that the Wolves are without Karl-Anthony Towns for the second-straight game (suspension).
