The Minnesota Timberwolves (31-28) host the Memphis Grizzlies (41-19) on the first night of a back-to-back at Target Center.
Back from the seven-day NBA All-Star break, the Timberwolves are on a quest to clinch a playoff berth with 23 games remaining in the regular season. During the break, Minnesota was well-represented with three members participating at All-Star weekend. Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels participated in the Rising Stars game on Friday night. McDaniels ended the night with a 12-point performance on 50% shooting from the field and a whopping 66% from beyond the arc. On Saturday, Karl-Anthony Towns put on a shooting clinic for the world to see and made history becoming both the first center ever to win the three-point contest and scoring the most points ever in the contest’s final round.
