CCI PREVIEW: It's game 82 as the Bulls and T-Wolves prepare for the postseason.
DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, Alex Caruso, Nikola Vucevic and Matt Thomas will miss tonight's game. Coby White is listed as doubtful with a toe injury.
Regardless of who's good to go, effort, energy and attention to detail is vital.
This will be a great opportunity for end of rotation players and those who rejoined the team from the G-League to gain valuable experience.
The Bulls have lost four straight and in that span are surrendering 126 points per game with opponents shooting a staggering 53% from the field. Will the Bulls opening round opponent be Boston, Milwaukee or Philadelphia? We will find out later today.
Minnesota has been a surprise story this season led by three time All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns, future All Star Anthony Edwards and a solid combo guard in D'Angelo Russell. The addition of the feisty, in your face aggressiveness of Patrick Beverley has been huge for the T-Wolves.
Towns will rest tonight.
Edwards scored a career-high 49 points Thursday against the Spurs and can beat you in so many ways, whether it's off the dribble or shooting the three ball. He is a fantastic young talent.
Head Coach Chris Finch stayed the course with this team and deserves a ton of credit.
Minnesota hosts a play-in game Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers.
