Timberwolves' opening game offers a more challenging matchup than you might think

The Minnesota Timberwolves' 2025-26 season tips off on Wednesday night when they travel to play the Portland Trail Blazers. At face value, this game isn't a big challenge for a Wolves squad with championship aspirations. However, it's worth noting that the two teams split the season series last year.

Perhaps the biggest advantage the Blazers have is Toumani Camara. The $82 million man is one of the league's best on-ball stoppers, and he specifically contained Anthony Edwards better than nearly anyone in the league last season.

Most people are expecting the Wolves to take care of business in this season opener.
