Minnesota will be playing without Turiaf, Pekovic, Thad Young, and Rubio.
That means a lot more of Dieng, Bennett and Muhammed. Dieng is their only center playing in this game. Next tallest player is Corey Brewer technically at 6'9". So if Dieng gets in foul trouble, or is simply subbed off, Bennett would assume the middle. I would expect them to play a lot of zone, otherwise they are going to get killed in the pick and roll or pop.
Lavine is still running the point and seems lost when deciding whether to pass or shoot. This team is in shambles and it seems to keep getting worse. At least their young guys are getting a lot of experience.
I expect this game to be extremely ugly. Also, first home game after a long road trip which included a flight down to Mexico and two away games after that.
