The Minnesota Timberwolves will look to break their two-game losing skid on Wednesday evening against the Dallas Mavericks. This will be the Wolves' second trip to Dallas this season, with the first one coming on Christmas Day. In that game, Minnesota led by as many as 28 points and held on for the win late.
That contest was also the most recent game Luka Doncic has played in this season. The Mavs' star has been out for the last month, and his team has struggled without him, losing most recently to the Hornets on Monday. However, this squad is still dangerous. The game before their loss in Charlotte, Dallas took down the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder at home.
Timberwolves projected starting lineup vs Mavericks
With Donte DiVincenzo out indefinitely due to a toe sprain, Mike Conley is likely to be in Chris Finch's starting lineup once again.
