The Minnesota Timberwolves return home and look to bounce back from their latest loss when they host the Milwaukee Bucks. The game begins at 8 PM ET and will air on DAZN-MIN, WCGV, and Bucks+.

The Timberwolves have lost three of their last four, including their most recent game when they fell to the San Antonio Spurs. They are 4-3 on the season, putting them at ninth in the Western Conference. This is a quick trip home before they hit the road for the next two games.

The Bucks have dropped back-to-back games against the Cleveland Cavaliers and Houston Rockets after picking up their first win of the season against the Indiana Pacers. They are 1-5 on the year, 13th in the East. This begins a two-game road trip after three straight at home.

This is the first meeting of the season between the teams.

Anthony Edwards is OUT after undergoing right knee arthroscopy. Edwards is set to be sidelined for up to two months. In four games this season, he is averaging 33.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.5 assists.

Donte DiVincenzo is OUT after undergoing right Achilles tendon surgery in April. He suffered the injury in the first round of the 2026 NBA playoffs. He is hopeful to return to the court this season.

LaMelo Ball, Jaden McDaniels, Ayo Dosunmu, Jonathan Kuminga, and Rudy Gobert will be the starters for Minnesota. Gobert missed the last game against the Spurs, leading to Joan Beringer taking his place in the starting lineup. All five starters were in double figures against the Spurs, with Dosunmu leading the way with 27 points.

In an unexpected update, Ball was just suddenly downgraded to questionable with a right wrist contusion.
