The Minnesota Timberwolves are at the New York Knicks Friday night, and it’s a homecoming of sorts for Naz Reid. Reid is from New Jersey, and was back at his old high school, Roselle Catholic, for a special honor on Thursday.

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle appears to be frustrated, and this could mark the beginning of the end of his time in Minnesota.

The Cleveland Cavaliers don't exactly have a ton of holes in the lead up to the NBA trade deadline, but one area they could stand to address is their big man de

Donte DiVincenzo will not play Friday night when the Timberwolves visit Madison Square Garden for a matchup with Karl-Anthony Towns and the Knicks. His absence could pose significant challenges for Minnesota.

The Warriors were up 34-10 late in the first quarter, a mind-boggling combination of Minnesota ineptitude and Golden State desperation.

Even if KAT, who missed Wednesday’s game with a thumb injury, can’t go, Precious Achiuwa has the athleticism to give Gobert problems. Look for the Wolves to, once again, lean on more athletic front-court options like Julius Randle and Naz Reid against this Knicks lineup.

Julius Randle is not a good fit for the Wolves and Anthony Edwards is not playing within the offensive system.

Julius Randle had 23 points and 10 rebounds, Anthony Edwards added 21 points and seven assists and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Orlando Magic 104-89 on Thursday night for their third straight victory.

Ja Morant made a tiebreaking jumper with 18 seconds left, Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 33 points and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 127-125 on Saturday night in a game that was tight from start to finish.

Julius Randle appears to be on increasingly thin ice in Minnesota, not closing as many games, not endearing himself to the fans, and his albatross of a player option is threatening the Timberwolves’ ability to retain Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Naz Reid.
