The Wolves star is having a great time since his return and now, with the great moment of Anthony Edwards and DiAngelo Russell, it seems that they have found the way to victory. The Minnesota center leads the team in points and rebounds with a record 24.3 points, 9.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. KAT is a fundamental piece for the team and it is time for him to show why he is one of the best players in the league, in addition to once again showing his great talent as a center.
The Timberwolves arrive after a losing streak of 2 straight losses, the team is fighting for direct tickets to the postseason and away from the play-in. The Wolves sit in seventh place in the Western Conference with a record of 29 wins and 27 losses. The stability that the team has generated with Karl Anthony Towns, DiAngelo Russell and Edwards has gradually made the team look better, although they are still far from the best teams of the season. At the moment they are below the Denver Nuggets, two wins away from them, so this game will be of great importance if they want to leave the Play-In places.
The new shooting guard from Indiana comes to the team and with his record of 14.4 points, 8.1 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game, to become the team's new rebounding and assisting leader. Hield was looking to get out of Sacramento and start over with another team and this is his chance to once again demonstrate the high level seen in past seasons. His connection with Malcolm Brogdon and Tyrese Haliburton, who came together from the Kings, is what the Pacers board is looking for and starting to plan for next season. What he will look for is to close the season in a good way.
The Indiana team comes after a 5-game losing streak, the last one against the Cavs by a score of 113-120. The team has been affected by the big changes that the general management has made by radically changing the team's squad before closing the transfer market a few days ago. Domantas Sabonis left, who was the great star of the team a few seasons ago, Caris LeVert, Justin Holiday, Jeremy Lamb and Torrey Craig, in exchange for players like Buddy Hield, Tristan Thompson, Jalen Smith and Tyrese Haliburton. Everything indicates that a total renewal of the team is coming and it only remains to be seen what will happen to the Pacers, this season seems already lost since the team is located in the penultimate position of the Eastern Conference, far from chances of playoffs.
The Gainbridge Fieldhouse located in Indianapolis will host this duel between two teams that are fighting for Playoff positions in their respective Conference. This stadium has a capacity for 20,300 fans and was inaugurated in 1997.
