This is the second night of a back to back for the Wolves at Target Center.
They fell to Luka Doncic and the Mavericks on Friday night in an absolute
thriller.
They’ll look to bounce back on Saturday night against Anthony Davis and the
Pelicans on Statement Saturday.
Both teams are 20-22 overall, tied for 11thin the West.
The Pelicans are coming off a 140-124 win over the Cavaliers at home on
Wednesday.
The season series is knotted up at 1-1 between the two teams with both winning
on their home court.
After an “off night” by his standards after putting up 20 points and nine
rebounds in Tuesday’s win over the Thunder, Towns bounced back, finishing with
30 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks against the Mavericks on Friday night.
The one concern with Towns as of late is getting into foul trouble. On Tuesday,
he was limited to just 24 minutes, and on Friday, he was limited to 30 minutes.
Going up against Anthony Davis, the Wolves will need Towns on the court if they
want to come away with a win.
Wolves: Robert Covington (knee) is out. Derrick Rose (ankle) is questionable.
Pelicans: E’Twaun Moore (quadriceps) is questionable.
Wolves: PG – Teague, SG – Okogie, SF – Wiggins, PF – Gibson, C – Towns
Pelicans: PG – Payton, SG – Holiday, SF – Miller, PF – Randle, C – Davis
