6686 Sports October 26th The NBA regular season will continue tomorrow morning, and the Timberwolves will welcome the Pacers in back-to-back games at the home team court.
The Timberwolves lost to the Lakers 110-128 in the previous game. Edwards scored 31 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. Randle had 26 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists. McDaniels had 10 points, DiVincenzo had 13 points, and Gobert only scored 2 points and 7 rebounds.
The Timberwolves did not make many adjustments during the offseason. The addition of Hylander and Zhuzan increased the length of the rotation. The two new players, Belanger and Zikaski at the fifth position, still need to be polished. In terms of leaving the team, the departure of Alexander Walker has somewhat weakened the team's outside offense and defense.
The Pacers lost to the Grizzlies 103-128 today. Marcelin contributed 26 points but retired early due to injury. Nesmith had 15 points, Siakam had 13 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Toppin had 13 points and 9 rebounds. No other player scored in double figures.
The Pacers let go of Turner in the offseason after Haliburton was seriously injured. The overall strength has been greatly reduced. The two No. 5 Huff and the re-signed Wiseman are unable to shoulder the inside burden left after Turner left.
Injuries are now the Pacers' biggest enemy. Currently, the team already has many injuries such as Haliburton, McConnell, Nembhard, Quinton Jackson, Cam Jones, Furfe, Marcelin, etc. Carlisle revealed that only 10-11 people from the team may be able to play against the Timberwolves tomorrow. The key problem is that the Pacers' back line is full of holes and there are no available players, which has a big impact on the team's attack.
On the Timberwolves side, Dillingham is the only one with injury problems, and he is only doubtful. He is still expected to play tomorrow.
The Pacers' strength was greatly reduced after losing Haliburton, and now they are suffering from serious injury problems. This has also caused a major imbalance in the strength comparison between the two teams. In addition, the Pacers are still playing back-to-back games as the away team, making it extremely difficult for the Pacers to win.
