Injury Report
Portland Trail Blazers
- Out: Damian Lillard (G, left Achilles tendon; injury management/out for season), Kris Murray (F, lumbar strain), Shaedon Sharpe (G, left calf soreness), Matisse Thybulle (G/F, right knee tendinopathy).
- Questionable: Deni Avdija (F, low back strain), Robert Williams III (C, left knee injury management).
- Probable: Scoot Henderson (G, left hamstring injury management).
- Note: Portland’s backcourt and wing depth are hit hard, forcing reliance on younger players like Donovan Clingan and Toumani Camara.
Minnesota Timberwolves
- Out: Terrence Shannon Jr. (G, foot; re-evaluated during All-Star break).
- Note: Minnesota is mostly healthy, with their core (Edwards, Gobert, Randle) available, giving them a significant advantage over Portland’s depleted roster.
These injuries heavily favor the Timberwolves, as Portland’s absences weaken their perimeter defense and scoring.
Key Player Matchups
- Anthony Edwards (Timberwolves SG) vs. Scoot Henderson (Trail Blazers PG): Edwards (24.8 PPG) is Minnesota’s explosive scorer, capable of 30+ on any night. Henderson (probable) provides speed but lacks experience—expect Edwards to exploit mismatches for 28+ points.
- Rudy Gobert (Timberwolves C) vs. Donovan Clingan (Trail Blazers C): Gobert anchors Minnesota’s elite defense (12th in points allowed). Clingan, a rookie, has shown rebounding prowess but faces a tough test—Gobert could dominate the glass with 15+ rebounds.
- Julius Randle (Timberwolves PF) vs. Jerami Grant (Trail Blazers SF): Randle’s versatility (20+ PPG) challenges Grant’s defense. Grant (18.5 PPG) can score from outside, but Randle’s physicality gives Minnesota the edge in the post.
- Jaden McDaniels (Timberwolves SF) vs. Deni Avdija (Trail Blazers F): McDaniels’ length disrupts wings; Avdija (questionable, 15 PPG) brings playmaking but may be limited—McDaniels could force turnovers.

- All-Time: Trail Blazers lead 92-48 in 140 regular-season games.
