The Minnesota Timberwolves will look to earn their fourth consecutive victory on Saturday night as they welcome the Memphis Grizzlies to Target Center. They are still figuring some things out, but the Wolves have been playing some excellent basketball ever since Chris Finch opted to insert Donte DiVincenzo into the starting five.

Anthony Edwards and company will need to put together an A+ performance on Saturday to send the Grizzlies home with a loss. Memphis currently sits third in the Western Conference, despite only having Ja Morant for 21 of their 38 contests this season.

Speaking of Morant, he just returned for the Grizzlies on Thursday and is expected to be available again versus Minnesota. Memphis will give this Timberwolves defense a big test with their sixth-ranked offensive efficiency.

The Timberwolves hold a 3-0 record since Donte DiVincenzo was promoted to the starting group. We should see him among the first five on the floor again on Saturday.
