In a matinee border battle, the Minnesota Timberwolves (14-41) and Milwaukee Bucks (33-20) meet on Wednesday afternoon in Minneapolis.
Sans Karl-Anthony Towns, the Timberwolves were defeated 127-97 by the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday afternoon. Anthony Edwards tallied a team-high 27 points in the loss while D'Angelo Russell added 15.
Missing perennial All-Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo in each of the past five games, the Bucks are 2-3 over that span, with a win over the Orlando Magic 124-87 on Sunday. Bucks forward Khris Middleton led the team with 21 points in the victory and has been the team's go-to offensive option without Antetokoumpo, averaging 20 points per contest this season.
Monday will be the final meeting between Minnesota and Milwaukee in the 2020-21 campaign, with the Bucks earning a 139-112 victory at Fiserv Forum in the teams' February matchup.
