TV/radio: FDSN; KFAN, iHeartRadio app
Wolves preview: The Wolves will be playing their third game in four nights after beating Denver at home on Friday and losing at San Antonio on Saturday. They might be playing without defensive centerpiece Rudy Gobert, who is listed as questionable because of a sore left ankle, and even with him the defense has been leaky. Josh Minott appeared to enter the Wolves rotation Saturday night as the ninth player over veteran Joe Ingles. Minott played 10 minutes while Ingles did not play and was not listed on the injury report. He finished with four points and two rebounds.
Hornets preview: Charlotte is 2-4 and is coming off losing two straight to defending champion Boston at home. Fifth-year guard Lamelo Ball is averaging 30.2 points, 6.3 assists and five rebounds per game. But he is turnover-prone at 5.5 per game. Brandon Miller, averaging 11 points per game, is listed as questionable because of a left glute strain, and Nick Richards, also averaging 11 points, is out because of a sore right shoulder.
