Utah enters this game with Kessler and Niang out of commission, and though Anthony Edwards and Terrance Shannon Jr. are day-to-day on the other side, the Jazz are outclassed entering the court this Friday in Minnesota.

It's still very early in the 2025-26 NBA season for the Minnesota Timberwolves, who fell to 4-4 in a blowout loss to the Knicks on Wednesday. The Wolves have a talented roster, led by the trio of Anthony Edwards, Julius Randle, and Jaden McDaniels, which should have them in the mix once again in the Western Conference.

Over the last four seasons, the Minnesota Timberwolves have emerged as one of the better teams in the NBA. They have a true superstar in Anthony Edwards, elite defenders across the board, and a high-level supporting cast.

The veteran center made the All-NBA team in his first season in New York, and has played in conference finals with both teams.

"CATAN is trading timber for Wolves", according to a press release - will this corporate sponsorship bring new audiences to board games?

Mike Conley is the veteran and Rob Dillingham the novice, but neither of them is the answer. The Wolves should keep riding with Donte DiVincenzo.
