Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert, Ayo Dosunmu, Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo will start against the Mavericks on Monday.
Edwards will return to the Wolves’ starting lineup in his first game back from a knee injury. He’ll join three of the usual starters and Dosunmu, who is making a spot start against the Mavericks thanks to Jaden McDaniels’ knee injury. Minnesota, the fifth seed in the Western Conference, currently has the same record as Houston, which occupies the sixth seed. Each game down the stretch of the regular season could have an impact on the playoff picture — including Monday’s contest.
