Rudy Gobert continues to deliver a solid effort in the paint, averaging 13.9 points, 11.5 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game. Jaden McDaniels averages 12.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks, while Kyle Anderson is averaging 9.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game. The Timberwolves average 115.9 points per game, but they give up an average of 116.2 points.

Meanwhile, this marks the second game of a back-to-back for the Hawks (36-36), after they came came up with a 22-point home win over the Pistons on Tuesday. They got out to a good start in the game, with a six-point lead after one quarter, and they stayed in front to take a seven-point lead into the break. They turned up the heat in the third and outscored the visitors, 33-19, to make it a 21-point deficit heading into the final frame. They stayed strong in the fourth and held on to close out their second win in three games. Trae Young led the way with 30 points, three rebounds and 12 assists, while Bogdan Bogdanovic followed up with 18 points, and Saddiq Bey totaled 14 points and 11 rebounds. The Hawks hope to stay on track, as they head out on the road with a chance to build on their, 16-21, road record.
