Minnesota Timberwolves vs Brooklyn Nets Predicted Starting Lineups and Depth Charts for Apr. 3 | NBA 2024-25 season
Brooklyn Nets host the Minnesota Timberwolves for Thursday night's clash at Barclays Center. Despite both teams already playing 76 games this campaign, this will be their first meeting.
Both teams will enter the contest riding multiple-game win streaks. The Nets lodged back-to-back wins on the road against the Washington Wizards and Dallas Mavericks. Meanwhile, Anthony Edwards and company clinched wins over significantly better squads – the Phoenix Suns, Detroit Pistons and Denver Nuggets.
The Wolves’ last clash against the Nuggets, in particular, will be a major confidence booster. Trailing by 15 points early in the contest, Chris Finch’s men clawed back to clinch a 140-139 comeback win in overtime.
“That might have been the best game of my life, like, that I've been a part of,” Ant exclaimed during the postgame locker room interview.
Given Minnesota’s recent run, their .579 winning percentage, and the Nets’ extensive injury list, the Timberwolves will head into this clash as clear favorites.
