As Mike Brown and his staff decide who the opening night starters will be, one thing they can't ignore is Mitchell Robinson's extensive injury history. If they do decide to start Robinson, he shouldn't play in back-to-back games, which could provide second-year big man Ariel Hukporti with the opportunity to get some valuable minutes.
Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, and Karl-Anthony Towns will all be starters. The question is who will occupy that final slot. Currently, it seems to be a three-man race between Robinson, Josh Hart, and Miles McBride.
All three of them have unique skillsets and would give the starting lineup a different look.
