| Andrei Kirilenko is expected to not play again tonight as the Nets take on the Timberwolves, his former team. The Russian forward has been out for Brooklyn's last eight games (including this one) with a back spasms problem dating back to the preseason. |
When: 8:00 PM; Friday, November 22nd, 2013
Where: Target Center; Minneapolis, MN
TV: YES Network
Brook Lopez (ankle), Deron Williams (ankle), Andrei Kirilenko (back), and Jason Terry (knee) all are out of the lineup for Jason Kidd's Nets tonight. Meanwhile, Brooklyn's opponent, the Minnesota Timberwolves, have their entire complement of talent healthy and ready to go. That means Kevin Garnett and Andray Blatche have to deal with Kevin Love and Nikola Pekovic. Not good for a Nets team trying to avoid a fourth-straight loss.
Probable Lineups
BKN- Shaun Livingston (PG), Joe Johnson (SG), Paul Pierce (SF), Kevin Garnett (PF), Andray Blatche (C)
MIN- Ricky Rubio (PG), Kevin Martin (SG), Corey Brewer (SF), Kevin Love (PF), Nikola Pekovic (C)
Final Thoughts
Not much to say other than that this one could get ugly fast, and not in a good way for Brooklyn. The Wolves are coming off two straight four-point losses and want a win badly. It's fair to say they'll be playing with a chip on their shoulder.
