Game of the Day: Timberwolves vs. Raptors on League Pass (7:30 ET)

The highly anticipated League Pass game will showcase the Minnesota Timberwolves taking on the Toronto Raptors at Scotiabank Arena. If you're looking to get prepared, here are five key things to keep in mind.

1. Anthony Edwards is letting it fly: With Karl-Anthony Towns now in New York, Edwards is the focal point for Minnesota. His scoring has increased from 25.9 points per game to 28.1 points per game. The key? Edwards’ increased 3-point shooting. He’s averaging 11.3 attempts per contest while making an impressive 42.4% of them.

2. How are new-look Wolves faring?: Minnesota got Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo in the Towns trade. Randle has done well, averaging 21.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. DiVincenzo is coming off the bench while averaging 9.4 ppg and 1.3 spg. That spark off the bench is key for the Wolves in every game.

4. Raptors’ injury woes: Toronto’s start to 2024-25 has been significantly impacted by a series of injuries to key players. Scottie Barnes has only played in four games due to an eye injury, Immanuel Quickley has played in three games, and Bruce Brown has yet to see the court.

5. RJ Barrett is getting buckets: With key players out, Barrett has been tasked with doing more offensively. He’s been up to the task and is coming off a big outing. The Raptors’ win over the Pacers was paced by Barrett scoring 39 points.
