Having won eight of their last 11 games overall, things are really coming along for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Despite some bad injury luck in recent weeks, they have been able to put together a solid stretch of play due in large part to Chris Finch expanding his rotation further down the bench. Jaylen Clark, Rob Dillingham and Terrence Shannon have been able to bring their own unique talents to the table recently.
The Wolves will get a break on the injury front as the Milwaukee Bucks come to town on Wednesday night. The Eastern Conference powerhouse will be without Giannis Antetokounmpo for their first of two matchups with Minnesota this season. Damian Lillard has played well in his absence, but he is not a guarantee to suit up. Meanwhile, on the Timberwolves' side of things, Mike Conley is likely to miss another game as well.
