The Wolves enter as favorites to win the series against the Warriors, but they were underdogs against the Lakers in the first round. Anthony Edwards starred against L.A., posting 26.8 points per game. Edwards got plenty of help as Julius Randle, Jaden McDaniels, Naz Reid and Rudy Gobert all had their moments in the series win.

While Butler propelled the Warriors into the league’s top defense and a 26-9 record with him in the lineup, Minnesota’s pick-and-roll combo of Edwards and Julius Randle has unlocked the league’s second-best offense and a 20-5 record (including the playoffs) since March 1.

Heading into the opener against the Warrior in Minneapolis on Tuesday, the Wolves again filed their official injury report with the NBA. And again, it's Dillingham and no one else. Dillingham has not played since April 11, and likely would not get minutes against the Warriors even if he were healthy.
