Kevin Love's back in his Minnesota Muskies warmup tonight and ready to play after that two-game NBA suspension tonight against the Mavericks team.

The Wolves are going for the season sweep after they had won just one out of 19 games before beating the defending NBA champs on New Year's Day night.

Love was leading the NBA in minutes played before his suspension.

The rest should be good for him, right?

"I don't know," Wolves coach Rick Adelman said. "Sometimes guys get used to playing a certain amount of times, games, just get on the same schedule. Then they miss out sometimes and I don't want to say they get rusty, but they get out of sync. But hopefully that won't happen.

"It's got to help him some. We've got a back-to-back here. He had played the most minutes in the league, so it's got to help him some. It's a heckuva way to help it, though, an expensive way to do it."

The Wolves again will play without Darko!, out for the third straight game, this time with that sprained ankle.

J.J. Barea is back against his former teammates, healthy for the first time against them in three games this year.

And Dirk Nowitzki, who missed the Wolves' victory at Dallas a couple weeks ago, is back playing more like the guy who on Thursday was named to yet another All-Star Game.
