Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns, Rudy Gobert and the Minnesota Timberwolves will turn right around for another contest on Thursday night as they hit the kick off a three-game homestand by welcoming Jaren Jackson Jr., GG Jackson and the Memphis Grizzlies back to Target Center in a game that will undoubtedly have a different feel than Wolves/Grizz battles of recent years.
Memphis will not only be missing Ja Morant, but also key sidekicks Desmond Bane, Marcus Smart, Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke, among others.
The Wolves are 2-0 against the Grizzlies (both in Memphis) in 2023-24, with wins of 24 points and 22 points — two of their four widest margins of victory this season.
