Chris Finch will encourage the Timberwolves to continue shooting despite their poor three-point performance in Game 1, with Donte DiVincenzo expected to increase his playing time and maintain his shooting efforts.

Holmgren played 26 minutes in Game 1 against Minnesota, scoring 15 points on 6 for 9 shooting, with 13 points coming in the second half.

McDaniels faced foul trouble in Game 1 against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, playing only 24 minutes and scoring seven points, making his continued presence crucial for the Timberwolves' performance.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander averaged 1.4 triples in 12 playoff games, hitting the Over five times, and he made multiple triples in 48 of 76 regular season games, averaging 2.5 in four matchups with the Timberwolves.

Dort faced foul trouble in Game 1, recording five fouls in 28 minutes while primarily defending Anthony Edwards, and despite limited rebounds against Denver, projections suggest he will average around 3.7 rebounds against Minnesota.

In Game 1, Edwards struggled with driving, only attempting 7 drives compared to his playoff average of 13, and while he went 3-of-8 from three-point range, he has a postseason average of 38.4% and previously shot 39.5% during the regular season.

The Oklahoma City Thunder, ranked No. 19 in rebounding percentage, managed to win the rebounding battle against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who ranked No. 10, despite Anthony Edwards securing nine rebounds for Minnesota.
