In their last three outings, Minnesota's scoring has been nothing short of prolific. They've consistently put up over 120 points, with an average shooting efficiency of 55 percent from the field and an impressive 39 percent from beyond the arc. Their free-throw accuracy stands out as well, hitting an exceptional rate of around 88 percent.


Defensively, they've managed to keep opponents' scoring under control. The team's defensive rating hovers around a solid 108 points per 100 possessions while maintaining an offensive rating that exceeds 122 points per 100 possessions – a testament to their balanced approach on both ends of the court.

The Timberwolves have also demonstrated depth in their roster with significant contributions from bench players who have added roughly 42 points per game during this stretch. This depth could be crucial against a Nets team known for its own dynamic play.


Rebounding has been another area where Minnesota has excelled; they've outrebounded opponents by averaging about seven more rebounds per game in these past matchups. This advantage on the glass could be pivotal in controlling the pace against Brooklyn.
