Today's line: Wolves by 2½.

Pregame reading: Read about how the Wolves will have luxury-tax issues to settle after this season.

For the fans: Anthony Edwards returns home to Atlanta, where a mural of Edwards, his grandmother Shirley and mother Yvette was unveiled this summer.

Opening bell: The Timberwolves offense has been inconsistent to start the season. Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns have yet to get going, but the team's defense has held each of the first two opponents below 100 points. Before their 127-110 victory Sunday night at Milwaukee, the Hawks lost their first two games by six points each.

Injuries: Jaden McDaniels, who hasn't played for the Wolves in their first two games of the season because of a left calf injury, is listed as questionable and could make his debut. Wesley Matthews has yet to play in the regular season for Atlanta because of a right calf strain.

Forecast: The Hawks will be the second consecutive team the Wolves will face on the tail end of a back-to-back. The Wolves' half-court defense has looked strong so far, and they seemed to iron out some of their transition defense issues Saturday. Atlanta is a beatable team, and this is a good chance for the Wolves to pick up their first road win.
