For the first time this season, the two best rookies in the Western Conference will face off against one another, as Sacramento heads to Minnesota to take on the Timberwolves.
Despite the intrigue in the rookie of the year race between Tyrese Haliburton and Anthony Edwards, they aren’t the two faces of their franchises; those would be Kentucky alums De’Aaron Fox and Karl-Anthony Towns, each of whom has been near the top of his game recently. Towns has been the hub of the Minnesota offense in terms of scoring, facilitating, and rebounding. He’s putting up 24.6 points, 11.
