TIPSHEET

KNOW THIS

• On Sunday, when a bunch of MLB teams will have full-squad workouts in Arizona, the projected high temperature in Phoenix is the same as it is in the Twin Cities (59 degrees).

• LeBron James has a career offensive rating of 123 and a defensive rating of 99 against the Wolves. Both are his best marks against any team.

WATCH THIS

So yeah, that LeBron James guy is pretty good at basketball. The Wolves get another chance to slow him down, this time at Target Center. Cavaliers at Wolves, 7 p.m., FSN.
