I think Ridnour and Pekovic are starting for the Wolves.
We blew them out last time but the Wolves play everyone tough. If they can beat Dallas, San Antonio they can take us on our home floor.
The Rubio/Love pick and pop remain our biggest threat. Not a good matchup for Scola.
They play alot of small ball so expect to see us match them with Patterson playing plenty of minutes.
If we stay on their shooter, contest their 3pt shot and keep them off the offensive glass, we should win.
Also it'll be good if Lowry's shot decide to show up tonight. He's been in a massive slump the past few games shooting the ball. Playing against his mentor in RA should give him that extra motivation.

I use
http://espn.go.com/nba/depth to find out who is starting. No, it's not always accurate. They do have Ridnour listed to start... but I also saw him on the injury list.

My thoughts exactly. I hope we don't take this game lightly. They almost beat the lakers last night and Love has been going in lately.

Coach Kevin McHale reiterated that Kevin Martin (foot) will play against the Wolves Monday.
McHale hinted that he might limit Martin's workload in his first game back, but that will likely depend on game flow. If Martin starts off hot and his foot feels good, he'll likely push for 30 minutes.
Wolves have no shot blockers so attacking the paint is key.

Good game for Dragic to get extended minutes.

McHale needs to limit Lowry's minutes... guy's legs are obviously shot.
