The Dallas Mavericks (7-4) head out on the road to play the red-hot Minnesota Timberwolves (8-3) on Thursday night in a big matchup on NBAtv. Dallas won three straight at home, most recently overcoming a tough Pacers team on Monday. The Wolves have won four straight, dismantling Utah at home on Sunday. Here are the main things to know before this one kicks off:
WHO: Dallas Mavericks vs Minnesota Timberwolves
WHAT: Can Dallas keep the winning going against the Timberwolves?
WHERE: Target Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota
With two full days to rest prior to this contest, Dallas comes into this one as healthy as they’ve been at any point this year. Tarik Biberovic remains out with bursitis as does Sergio De Larrea with his knee sprain. Morez Johnson Jr. is probable after missing Monday with a shin injury. Dallas will need him against the Timberwolves big men.

Minnesota is without the services of All-Universe guard Anthony Edwards as he has a right knee issue. Donte DiVincenzo is still recovering from an Achilles tear. Joan Beringer is on the injury report but will play with a mask after a face injury. He’s a very valuable part of the Timberwolves rotation.
The concerns for Dallas in this one lie in the rebounding and defense. Dallas will be able to score, at times, against a tough Minnesota defense, but Dallas has not played great defense this season and give up way too many offensive rebounds. Rudy Gobert may eat in this one unless Dallas can summon the team rebounding they found on Monday.
Since you’re here checking out this post, it’s for one of two reasons.
