The Indiana Pacers head into Sunday’s matchup in Minnesota still searching for their first win of the season, and injuries have made that task even tougher. After pushing the defending champion Thunder to double overtime on opening night, Indiana followed with a lopsided loss to Memphis while missing nearly its entire backcourt.

The Timberwolves, meanwhile, return home after splitting their first two games and will look to feed off the Target Center crowd. Anthony Edwards has been unstoppable early, averaging 36 points per game, with Julius Randle providing steady support.

Scoring hasn’t been the issue for Minnesota, but defensive lapses have been, as they rank near the bottom of the league on that end despite Rudy Gobert’s presence in the paint. Against a shorthanded Pacers squad, the Wolves have a prime opportunity to tighten up defensively and set the tone for their season at home.
