Dime’s ticket posts before tip-off, and here is his read

I am watching Rudy Gobert, at 14.3 rebounds a game, and LaMelo Ball at 6.3 assists with Edwards out. For San Antonio it is Victor Wembanyama at 22.3 points and De'Aaron Fox at 7.8 assists. My ticket posts before tip-off once Kalshi's player board is fully trading and the injury report settles.

Records are through Tuesday, and both teams play before Saturday, Minnesota twice, so Dime will refresh records and injuries on game day. Without Edwards, Minnesota's shots move to Ball, McDaniels and the bench, and the Timberwolves have not said who starts in his place.
