Grizzlies vs. Timberwolves: Back-to-Back Series Preview

“Only” 3 commitments of the night that is about to arrive in the NBA. Among the teams on the field, there are also Memphis Grizzlies (18-29) and Minnesota Timberwolves (31-19) facing each other tonight in the NBA at the Fedex Forum (two-hour ball 1.30 am Italian time) for a crunchy back to back, 48 hours after the first round won by Minnesota 131-114, with 33 points from Edwards.

Without Ja Morant and with Jaren Jackson Jr. still not in top condition, it’s going to be tough for Memphis, even tonight, in what represents – together with the next 3 games – an important opportunity to continue chasing the post-season.

However, the balance of matches between the two franchises is currently equal. In fact, excluding the aforementioned match of 2 days ago, on December 18th the Grizzlies prevailed at the Target Center by 116-110 (28 by Jackson and 20 by Landale). However, it is unlikely that this will happen again: the absences are too heavy at Memphis to think about another blow. Furthermore, Minnesota, for its part, is in an excellent moment of form, made up of 4 successes in a row: in its sights, Finch’s group can now really put fourth place in the West.
