The Timberwolves will play on tonight against the Celtics at Target Center without Kevin Love, who will miss his third consecutive game because of that groin injury.
The Celtics, though, will forge on themselves with star guard Rajon Rondo, who has a jammed finger he aggravated during practice on Saturday.
Anthony Randolph again will start in Love's place. He's delivered back-to-back double-doubles, averaging 27.5 points and 13 rebounds in those two starts without Love.
Delonte West will start in Rondo's spot for the Celtics, who are coming off Friday's lifeless home loss to Charlotte.
