Game Preview - 01-13-2025
The Minnesota Timberwolves are in danger of falling away in the Western Conference, and a win here against the Washington Wizards would provide much-needed momentum and stability. But this team has struggled with consistency due to too many boneheaded turnovers, defensive slip-ups and bad luck issues.
Last time out, Minnesota Wolves dropped an emotional 127-125 home loss against Memphis Grizzlies. Karl-Anthony Towns scored 29 points and grabbed 11 rebounds while Donte DiVincenzo contributed 27 off the bench. Minnesota allowed 44% shooting from three point range as well as 36 free throw attempts below their league average, both below what would typically be expected from them defensively.
On the other side of the court, Washington Wizards have fallen into an unprecedented slump and average just 106.4 points per game over their last three losses. Jonas Valanciunas and Bilal Coulibaly both average double-digit scoring numbers while Jordan Poole consistently contributes 21.8 points with his 4.2 steals/3.9 assist averages.
