Houston Rockets vs. Minnesota Timberwolves: Stream, lineups, injury reports, broadcast (3/25)
Can the Rockets come out on top in a game with real playoff implications?
A Houston Rockets team that's had trouble finding ways to win away from home all season long has a big road test on Wednesday night. The Rockets will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center, a very tough place to play. Minnesota has a record of 24-13 on the campaign when playing in the friendly confines of Target Center.
It seems like the Rockets' best hope for a victory is for a huge scoring game from forward Kevin Durant. He's on the heels of a 40-point performance, but barring a similarly spectacular showing from him, Houston won't be able to put up the points to beat Minnesota. Records, standing, and streaks At present, the Rockets have a 43-28 record, which puts them in the Western Conference standings' sixth-place slot.
The Timberwolves are the owners of a 44-28 record, good enough for fifth in the Western Conference. What happened in the last game for each team? Houston lost to the Chicago Bulls (132-124) on the road.
Minnesota beat the Boston Celtics (102-92) on the road. Injuries For Minnesota, Ayo Dosunmu (right calf soreness) is questionable and Anthony Edwards (right knee, patellofemoral pain syndrome) is out. For Houston, Steven Adams (left ankle surgery) is out and Fred VanVleet (right knee ACL repair) is out.
