00:03 And then finally tonight, the Minnesota Timberwolves,

00:06 probably gonna have one of their better seasons, Steph,

00:08 we've seen in a long time.

00:09 They're huge favorites tonight.

00:10 Nine point favorites over the Portland Trail Blazers,

00:14 like Memphis, playing for another season,

00:17 not named this one, total 2-14 and a half.

00:20 - Yeah, again, two teams in very,

00:25 very different situations.

00:26 I mean, obviously the Blazers are looking towards

00:29 the draft lottery.

00:31 It's gonna be a weak draft,

00:32 but they're gonna have a top pick in it.

00:34 DeAndre Aiden has been huge disappointment for them.

00:38 There've been some reports that his attitude

00:39 has not been great.

00:41 Scoot Henderson also had a pretty rough rookie season.

00:45 He had just missed a couple of games recently

00:47 with a foot injury, he missed two games,

00:49 but he's had some good games here.

00:51 He had 30 against the Nuggets last week.

00:52 These teams actually, interestingly,

00:54 just played on Tuesday against each other

00:57 and the Wolves won 121 to 109.

01:00 So the big thing coming into this game

01:02 is that Anthony Edwards,

01:03 he's been dealing with this jumper's knee problem

01:05 for a while.

01:06 Not sure if he's gonna play in this one.

01:09 It's still kind of up in the air.

01:10 So obviously, I mean, he's gonna be the difference maker,

01:13 but if he goes, I mean, the Wolves have won three straight

01:15 that have played pretty well.

01:16 So yeah, it just depends on kind of a game time decision

01:19 there.

01:20 (upbeat music)
