The key contributors tend to be evolving and rotating for the Charlotte Hornets.

As long as at least a player or two are able to come through, the Hornets figure to have a chance against the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday at Charlotte, N.C.

The Timberwolves will arrive on a roll with a three-game winning streak and victories in six of their last seven games. They've had a variety of players come to the forefront.

Minnesota had Anthony Edwards as its leading scorer for five straight games until Karl-Anthony Towns pumped in 32 points in Thursday night's 101-90 victory against the visiting Utah Jazz.
