Last time the Toronto Raptors faced the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Wolves had every advantage. The Raptors were playing on the road, on the second night of a back-to-back and clearly ran out of gas in the second half.
The tables have turned for Tuesday night’s contest between the two teams. The second matchup will be played in Toronto this time around and it will be the Timberwolves who are playing on the second game of a back-to-back, after a disappointing loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
While Minnesota will be playing on the road and without rest, the biggest difference between the two games is the availability of Jimmy Butler.
