Mavericks at Minnesota Timberwolves
(8 p.m., Target Center, Minneapolis)
TV: Bally Sports Southwest
Radio: ESPN 103.3 FM (Univision 1270 AM, Spanish)
About the Mavericks (42-29): They need a win to guarantee the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference. They also could be No. 5 with a loss and wins by both the Los Angeles Lakers (at New Orleans) and Portland (home vs. Denver). All three games start at 8 p.m. tonight . . . A loss by the Lakers, however, and the door is ajar for Portland to finish fifth with a win and a Mavericks loss.
