TEAM LEADERS
MINNESOTA SCOUTING REPORT
The 32-29 Minnesota Timberwolves will meet the Warriors on Tuesday in their second game of a back-to-back. The Timberwolves lead the NBA in 3-point attempts (41.5 3PA) and are third in makes, not too surprising since their star player is a sharpshooting center. The three-time All-Star won the NBA’s recent 3-Point Contest at All-Star Weekend, and he leads the Timberwolves in points (24.4) and rebounds (9.7), ranking in the top 20 in the NBA in both categories. Second-year forward Anthony Edwards, who had a career-high 48 points against the Warriors earlier this season, is averaging 21.4 points and 4.7 rebounds, while former Dub D’Angelo Russell posts 19.3 points and 7.0 rebounds on the 2021-22 campaign.
