Grizzlies vs. Timberwolves Preview: Start Time, Injury Report (Grizzly Bear Blues)

Can the Memphis Grizzlies avoid a 0-5 road trip with a win over rival Minnesota Timberwolves?

Looks will be open from deep, and the Grizzlies need to find a rhythm from there. They lock in tonight to end the road trip on a happier note. The Timberwolves will try to collapse in the paint to minimize the interior scoring prowess of Morant and Clarke. With Clarke, the Grizzlies will continue to use the pick-and-roll. They’re the worst free throw shooting team in the league, and it’s not a hyperbole. The Timberwolves took Steven Adams away in last year’s playoff series; the Grizzlies should try to minimize Rudy Gobert to snap their losing streak and end the road trip on a positive note. He’s often described as the “head of the snake” for this team, and a vintage villain performance can help him and this team get their mojo back. Whether Gobert guards Clarke or Jackson, the Grizzlies need to use whichever advantage to stretch him to the limit and exploit his low amount of defensive sore spots. With Jackson, the Grizzlies could try to either pull Gobert away from the rim, or utilize Trip’s outside shooting for clean looks from deep. We know the Timberwolves will get up for this matchup, as this almost feels like their How they respond tonight could be a good gauge on the vibes around this team. The Memphis Grizzlies have had a brutal road trip.

Did the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Grizzlies? (Dunking With Wolves)

In Minnesota Timberwolves News: Everyone wants to know, did the Wolves beat the Grizzlies? Yes and Kyle Anderson headlines the Timberwolves Game Takeaways.

Two wins could propel the Timberwolves close to a Top-5 team in the NBA Western Conference. The Timberwolves surprisingly jumped out to the early lead, and with 9:47 to go in the first quarter, never looked back. The Timberwolves seemed to have solved their perimeter concerns in this one, as they shot a respectable 37.1 percent from the arc while shutting down their opponents to just 24.2 from that distance. And one year later, with an entirely new Timberwolves roster competing, the team reached the mid-point of the season with a record of? Better yet, the team appears to be up to the task this season.

We go over some of the best betting options for Saturday's matchup between the Sacramento Kings and Minnesota Timberwolves.

Their defense hasn’t been particularly strong this year, as they allow opponents 116.6 points per game and the Timberwolves put up 115.2 points per night. The Timberwolves have covered the spread in four of their last five games and as they begin this two-game stretch against Sacramento, they’ll make a statement to start.

This Timberwolves trade target is no longer available (Dunking With Wolves)

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been looking into one potential target leading up to the NBA trade deadline, but they are no longer available for trade.

And despite what other executives may believe, the Timberwolves might simply determine their best move at this point is to keep D-Lo. Still, several rival NBA executives believe the Timberwolves are determined to offload Russell before the deadline. This puts one of the Timberwolves’ top potential trade targets squarely off the table.

NBA Odds: Kings-Timberwolves prediction, pick, how to watch (ClutchPoints)

Tune in to this competitive matchup and don't forget to check out our NBA odds series for our Kings-Timberwolves prediction and pick.

The Timberwolves are the more athletic team with the more talented roster, but they’ll have to play as a team to beat the unselfish Kings. As the status of Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert hangs in the balance, I’ll go with the Kings to continue winning important games on the road. After a moment of silence, the Timberwolves played a good game against short-handed Memphis and got a win in their own building. With this being the first meeting of the season between these two teams, the Kings will look to start the series 1-0 with a win in Minnesota tonight. Slightly banged up, the Timberwolves will look to continue their luck at home with a win tonight against the Kings. Two exciting teams in the NBA’s Western Conference square off as the surging Sacramento Kings (27-20) travel to Minneapolis to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves (26-25).
