The Minnesota Timberwolves (28-38) visit the Boston Celtics (42-25).
TD Garden (Boston, MA)

Looking for a breakdown of tonight’s game? I’ve got you covered with this game preview. The Wolves embark on a three-game road trip over the next five days, heading to Miami on Friday and then wrapping up on Sunday against the bAD and Boogie New Orleans Pelicans.
As mentioned in the game preview, a #MajorKey to upsetting the Celtics in Boston tonight will be dominating the offensive and defensive glass. In three games against the Celtics, young Karl-Anthony Towns has had no problem doing just that:
In three career games vs. Boston, Karl-Anthony Towns is averaging 26.7 ppg and a career-best 15.7 rpg.
