Minnesota dropped its previous game versus the Atlanta Hawks in Georgia, 134-122. Wolves guard D'Angelo Russell led the way with 31 points while a third quarter ejection cut Georgia native Anthony Edwards' night short at 20 points.
Brooklyn has won three of its last four games, including a 117-102 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night. Sans star Nets forward Kevin Durant due to injury, Brooklyn guards James Harden and Kyrie Irving picked up the scoring load, combining for 61 points in the victory.
