NBA: Minnesota Timberwolves vs Memphis Grizzlies Injury Reports, Predicted Lineups, and Starting 5s

In-Game 2 of their Western Conference first-round series, the Memphis Grizzlies will host the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Grizzlies will attempt to continue their winning streak in the third game. Throughout the season, the Timberwolves have been inconsistent. With their amazing triumph against the LA Clippers in the play-in tournament and Game 1 of this series, they appear to have found form at the right time. Three young players, Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards, and D'Angelo Russell, could help the organization win a championship soon.

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies have been on a tear all season, winning seven of their past ten games to conclude the regular season on a high note.

However, after being stunned by Minnesota in Game 1, they will attempt to level the series with a dominant effort in Game 2.
