Good news that NAW isn't even on the injury report and that Naz isn't on there for the shoulder/wrist issues he had last game. Naz and Dillingham are questionable though with illness. Seems like something is going through the team as Ant was ill vs. Denver.
KG and Dunn questionable with thumb and ankle issues respectively.

We aren't going to be as lucky as the last game. Suns in full deck. It's good that they don't have Okogie anymore. I was hoping Dilly could be the wild card but he is out. Likely a blow out. We should save our starters for tomorrow once we are down by twenty.

The Suns have been playing well recently and we'll get to see if Richards gives them anything different in the middle. They don't have much shot blocking though and it seems like the Wolves play better offensively when there's not a rim defender. We're going to have to score well to beat them.

Durant has been dealing with a thumb injury, and I believe he is technically a game-time decision. But he's typically been playing through it.

He participated in shoot around.

No Naz do to illness, and probably banged up after arm, wrist, and ankle bumps last game. NAW is banged up, Dilly is sick, and DDV is already out. Gonna be a tough one.

Looks like the regulars are scared to pass Luka the ball.

I'm not quite sure what the defensive strategy is, but Wolves players have been out of position a number of times resulting in easy looks for the Suns.

This game is severely pissing me off. I'm shutting it off for my mental health.

Will watch until 2nd ended and probably switch off. Looking Randle playing alone does not make me interesting .

I think the Wolves would better off only playing one of Mike or Rob at a time, the only time it works is when both Tyus and Allen are are on the court.

Re: Game 47: Minnesota (25-21) at Phoenix (24-21)
That's an interesting look playing Ant and 4 defenders (Clark, NAW, Jaden, and Rudy). There's no weak link (Dillingham, Conley, or Randle) to exploit.
