The Minnesota Timberwolves return home at 1–1 after edging Portland behind Anthony Edwards’ 41 points, then falling to the Lakers 128–110 as defensive lapses and Rudy Gobert’s struggles at the rim proved costly. Anthony Edwards has been electric, averaging 36 points through two games, but Minnesota ranks near the bottom defensively.<\/p>
The Indiana Pacers, meanwhile, are 0–2 and reeling from Tyrese Haliburton’s season-ending injury. Despite Bennedict Mathurin’s scoring bursts and Pascal Siakam’s steady play, injuries and depth issues have left Indiana vulnerable on both ends.<\/p>
