According to CBS sports KAT is in, Dlo, Beverly, out, MCD and Nowell GTD.

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/teams/MIN/minnesota-timberwolves/injuries/

Update: Nowell out, MCD in.

We are very short at PG with only Leo and JMAC on the bench unless they called up Wright (I didn’t see anything about this.) Could see point Ant tonight.

So KAT, Ant, Bolmaro, Prince, Vando starting then...Ant will probably he handling ball more than usual..will be a good test. I just want to see the offense cut down the turnovers...that's the biggest problem on the offense..just way too many stupid and dumb turnovers

Why do I have this funny feeling that Leo and J Mac will be in foul trouble early?

Nowell has a bad back and won't play, otherwise he could bring the ball up.

Taurean Prince has given up 2 3 pointers already without even putting a hand up to contest the shot.

The Wolves can't hit 3s and have missed multiple easy shots at the rim. Hopefully the bench group can get things on track.

I'm not sure the Hawks can shoot any better or the Wolves could shoot much worse, so being down 9 at the end of the first isn't as bad as it could be.

Not looking good so far. ATL is moving the ball really well. They always seem to find the open man and make the shot.

Cant make a 2 and they can’t miss a 3.
That’s not a good way to get a W

Incredibly hot shooting by the Hawks combined with poor defense and terrible rebounding by the Wolves.

Is it weird that seeing Gorgui block Towns made me smile?

Nowell picked a bad game to be out, if he was available he could have gotten some real minutes tonight. Bolmaro isn't quite ready for such a big role.

Trae Young is getting away with a lot of the ticky tack fouls that the NBA was supposedly trying to get rid of.

As bad as this game looks so far we can still win it. The question is whether the Hawks heatwave is finally over, or are they gonna shoot us out of the gym?

Nope, they will shoot us out of the gym. Losing Leo with a leg injury is just the icing on the turd cake that is this game.
