The Toronto Raptors will visit the Minnesota Timberwolves for their first away game of the year. On the second night of a back-to-back, the Raptors will have to carry their energy from their win against Philadelphia into this game to overcome the Wolves who have the rest advantage. Toronto also continues to battle injuries, with Barrett, Quickley, Walter, Olynyk, and Brown all out.
Minnesota has split their first two games, falling to the Lakers before defeating the Kings. After the trade that sent Karl Anthony Towns to New York, there’s going to be a bit of an adjustment period for the Wolves to figure out how the pieces are going to fit.
