The Timberwolves, with a 45-28 record, are fifth in the West and have managed to overcome the absence of Anthony Edwards due to his knee injury, winning four games since then. He is not expected to return for Saturday afternoon's game against the Pistons, but the action remains close in the pregame betting odds.
Like the Timberwolves, the Pistons are also suffering from the absence of their star Cade Cunningham, who was the team's leading scorer, but his lung collapsed in what was worrying news. Even so, the Pistons have a deep roster and other stars like Jalen Duren to temporarily fill the void.
The Pistons recently hosted the Hawks, one of the hottest teams in the NBA, in an entertaining game that they lost by just one point, 129-130 in overtime. Duren scored 26 points and grabbed 14 rebounds but only recorded three assists, which is usually one of his strongest aspects of the game.
