Summary
- Timberwolves are road favorites against Raptors on Wednesday.
- Trade deadline buzz surrounds Giannis Antetokounmpo and Minnesota.
- Raptors show scoring depth with five players in double digits.

The Minnesota Timberwolves (31-20) are set to face the Toronto Raptors (30-21) tonight in a pivotal matchup. Despite a recent disappointing road loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, oddsmakers have installed the Timberwolves as 2-point favorites. Trade deadline speculation is active, with Minnesota reportedly pursuing Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Raptors recently ended a two-game skid by defeating the Utah Jazz, showing notable scoring depth with five players reaching double digits. RJ Barrett led the charge with 21 points and six rebounds in that contest. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves aim to rebound from their four-game winning streak being snapped by Memphis. Notably, Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle combined for 58 points in their last game, despite being listed as doubtful.
