Pregame reading: How the Wolves built one of the top defenses in the NBA.
Chris Hine's preview:
Opening bell: The Wolves dropped their first home game of the season to Sacramento on Friday 124-111. They'll carry their 4-3 road record into Memphis for what's currently scheduled to be the Wolves' lone trip there this season. But the Grizzlies may also host the Wolves in a road game Dec. 6 or 8 in the likely event the Wolves don't make the quarterfinals of the in-season tournament.
Watch him: Desmond Bane has tried to shoulder the offensive burden with Ja Morant suspended. Bane is averaging a career-high 24.3 points per game while shooting 36% from three-point range. He is a career 42% three-point shooter from deep.
Injuries: Jaden McDaniels (right ankle sprain) and Jordan McLaughlin (right knee sprain) are out for the Wolves. For Memphis, Brandon Clarke (Achilles) and Steven Adams (knee) are out long-term. Morant has 10 more games to serve on his suspension. Forward Marcus Smart is out for at least a few more weeks because of a left foot sprain. Xavier Tillman (left knee), Luke Kennard (knee) and Jake LaRavia (eye) are all also out.
