Pregame reading: Timberwolves had familiar issues crop up in loss to Magic.
Chris Hine’s preview:
Opening bell: The Wolves will try to bounce back from a regrettable loss to the Magic against the Rockets in the last game of this three-game homestand. This is the Wolves’ last home game before the All-Star break. Their next home game will be Feb. 23.
Watch him: Alperen Sengun leads Houston with 21.7 points per game, and Rockets fans felt he deserved a spot in the All-Star Game. Perhaps he will try to prove that in a matchup against the Wolves and Karl-Anthony Towns, who might have taken the spot ahead of him. Rudy Gobert was able to limit Sengun to 8-for-17 and 19 points in the teams’ previous meeting, a 122-95 victory on Jan. 5 in Houston.
Injuries: Rudy Gobert is questionable because of left ankle soreness; he was able to play through that on Friday. Tari Eason is out for Houston because of lower left leg injury management while Jock Landale is questionable because of a right wrist bone bruise.
