Matchup to Watch
Kemba Walker versus Luke Ridnour: This is an opportunity for Walker to get to the rim, and the foul line, a bunch.
Observations.
• The Timberwolves have been devasted by injuries. Stars Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio are both out and they just lost Chase Budinger for three months to knee surgery.
• Center Nik Pekovic sprained an ankle during Monday’s victory in Dallas, so he’s questionable for Wednesday.
Former Portland star Brandon Roy is making a comeback with the Wolves, after retiring with a chronic knee condition.
Tap-ins
• This is the Bobcats’ only road game in a stretch of five home dates.
• The Timberwolves swept the Bobcats last season, 2-0
• The Bobcats have a respectable 4-4 record all-time in Target Center.
