Anthony Edwards in, How to Watch Memphis Grizzlies-Minnesota Timberwolves, Injuries, Betting Lines, Lineups & More
The Memphis Grizzlies aren’t currently in the business of winning, but they have picked up victories in consecutive games for the first time since February began and can match their longest win streak of the season with an upset in Minneapolis.
They’ll get additional help too, since Santi Aldama, Ty Jerome and rookie Cedric Coward are all available to participate.
Aldama was having a special run before his injury, while Jerome has been productive when he’s played. Coward, an NBA All-Rookie First Team candidate, was injured just before All-Star weekend.
All-Star Game MVP Anthony Edwards, listed as questionable to play all day, will also participate.
