Live: Wolves put four-game winning streak to the test vs. Cooper Flagg, Mavericks

Rested and ready after a three-day break, the Minnesota Timberwolves continue their eight-game homestand against the similarly rested Dallas Mavericks.

The Details

Winners of four straight and five of seven games since Anthony Edwards was diagnosed with a knee issue that resulted in arthroscopic surgery, the Wolves are finding other ways to assert their authority as a Western Conference stalwart. Ayo Dosunmu and LaMelo Ball have developed an unmistakable chemistry in the backcourt. The two combined for 50 points in their last game, Sunday’s 115-100 victory over the Utah Jazz.

But now they face the Mavericks and 19-year-old sensation Cooper Flagg. He turned in his fourth straight double-double for Dallas on Monday night, scoring 43 points and hauling in 10 rebounds in a win against the Indiana Pacers. Kyrie Irving, back on the court after missing extensive time rehabbing a torn ACL, made seven three-pointers and finished with 35 points.

Oddsmakers listed the Wolves as 5.5-point home favorites at tip-off.
