I hate to speak too soon but...

It looks like the Wolves are about to finally play in Mexico City.

The 75-minute mark before the game -- the time when smoke billowed into the Mexico City Arena 11 months ago postponing the Wolves-San Antonio game -- has long come and gone and it sure looks like all systems are go.

Zach LaVine again will start at point guard for the Wolves with Ricky Rubio back home in Minnesota tending to his significantly sprained ankle.

Anthony Bennett is expected to play after he missed the two games in Florida with that swollen knee he bumped against Chicago in the season's third game.

Rubio and rookie Glenn Robinson III are the team's two inactive players tonight. Guard Patrick Beverley and forward Terrence Jones.won't play for the Rockets.
