KEY GAME INFORMATION
ATLANTA: When Jeff Teague has it going, he can carry this team offensively. He has shown the ability to get into the paint at will . . . Kyle Korver is coming off ankle surgery, but it shouldn't affect his shooting . . . Kent Bazemore is a high-energy, D-first guy who could start opposite Korver . . . His shot doesn't scare anybody, and opponents will continue to sag off Dennis Schroder. He'll be one of the league's better sixth men, but he's a work in progress . . . Tim Hardaway Jr. didn't play enough defense to stay on the court for the Knicks. He has to do a 180 if he's going to break into the rotation of a playoff team . . . Once he is fully recovered from shoulder surgery, Shelvin Mack will resume his role as third point guard . . . Justin Holiday is the new 12th man. With DeMarre Carroll gone, Paul Millsap will spend a little more time on the perimeter in big lineups. He has the skill set to thrive in an inside-outside role and should have another All-Star-type season . . . If his ankle is fully recovered, Thabo Sefolosha could step into DeMarre Carroll's old SF spot. He's no longer the corner three threat he was in Oklahoma City . . . Mike Scott could end up the first big off the bench. His lack of athleticism keeps him from being much of a threat on either side of the court, but his ability to step away and knock down shots spaces the floor nicely for the Hawks . . . Mike Muscala is an even more extreme version of Scott's skill set. He's a non-factor in most facets, but is one of the league's best pure-shooting bigs. He finally stayed healthy, and Al Horford has the ability to police the paint defensively, rebound, score and even create for teammates . . . Tiago Splitter provides Atlanta with a nice secondary part. He moves well defensively and is active on the offensive glass . . . Walter Tavares is massive and solidly athletic, but likely needs a year or two to develop.
MINNESOTA: They've found some depth at the point, meaning Ricky Rubio's minutes can be scaled back. He missed 60 games with an ankle injury last year, and he has missed at least 20 in three of his four seasons . . . Minnesota will surely shop veteran scorer Kevin Martin as the year goes on, but he's likely the top scorer in Minnesota as long as he stays in town . . . Zach LaVine showed flashes of being more than a super-athletic dunk artist last season, holding his own at the point for stretches after Rubio went down. He'll assume a combo guard role off the bench this year and is still a work in progress . . . A lack of size and athleticism will make it an uphill battle for local hero Tyus Jones, despite his success in last year's trainwreck of a Final Four. Last year was quite encouraging for Andrew Wiggins, who scored effectively by getting to the line frequently. Now he needs to add a jumper . . . Kevin Garnett said he'll start but be limited to 20 or so minutes per night as he assumes a player/coach role . . . They got a nice addition in 2015 Euroleague MVP Nemanja Bjelica, a skilled power forward who should help the offense run more smoothly . . . Shabazz Muhammad might be able to establish himself as a high-scoring sixth man . . . Minnesota took a flier on Adreian Payne, who struggled as a rookie but has size and decent shooting touch . . . Damjan Rudez gives them a veteran spot-up shooter off the bench . . . Anthony Bennett has shown no signs of being anything better than a dumpster fire . . . Karl-Anthony Towns is the rare rebounder and rim-protector who can also step away from the basket and stretch the floor on the offensive end. His longterm upside is huge . . . Gorgui Dieng gives them a solid defensive presence and a decent mid-range jumper, but might have a tough time meshing with Towns . . . Nikola Pekovic is still a beast on the offensive boards but can't stay healthy. He's trade bait.
PREVIEW
Hawks-Timberwolves Preview
By JEFF BARTL STATS Senior Writer

Andrew Wiggins wasn't even a year old when Kevin Garnett made his NBA debut with the Minnesota Timberwolves in 1995 as the fresh-faced kid right out of high school expected to help turn the franchise around.

Garnett did that for a time before stops in Boston and Brooklyn, and now that he's back in Minnesota, he's doing his best to help the 20-year-old Wiggins be the next young star to lift the Timberwolves to new heights.

Wiggins showed the Atlanta Hawks how well he's coming along earlier this month, and he'll look to help Minnesota win back-to-back games for the first time since that meeting Wednesday night.

The reigning Rookie of the Year poured in 32 points in Monday's 100-95 victory over Philadelphia, scoring 11 in the final five minutes - including a thunderous dunk while being fouled - as the Timberwolves (6-8) won at home for the first time in seven tries.

Wiggins is averaging 26.1 points and shooting 48 percent over his last nine, scoring at least 31 three times. Ricky Rubio, who had 11 assists against the 76ers, said Wiggins "can become MVP one day in this league."

Coach Sam Mitchell praised him by saying "he's turning into an unbelievable player."

''My teammates and my coaches trust me down the stretch to make the right plays and win the game for us,'' Wiggins said. ''That's what I'm going to try to do.''

Garnett guided the Timberwolves to eight straight playoff appearances during his prime before being traded to Boston and winning his only NBA championship. He's more of a spectator in his second go-around with Minnesota, but he contributed eight points and 10 rebounds in nearly 19 minutes Tuesday.

He was animated from the bench in crunch time, motivating with his strong words and celebrating big plays like Wiggins' and a clutch 3-pointer by Kevin Martin.

''When we talk about how valuable Kevin is to our team, he's not the same player on the court,'' Mitchell said. ''He has glimpses of it, flashes of it. But what he does in the locker room, at some point you hope it catches on. He gave us a big lift. He did not want to lose this game.''

Minnesota lost six of seven following its 117-107 win over Atlanta (10-6) on Nov. 9, when Wiggins hit 15 of 22 from the field and scored a season-high 33 points.

Jeff Teague had 24 points and Paul Millsap added 22 in the defeat that began a 2-5 stretch for the Hawks, which they ended with Tuesday's 121-97 rout of Boston.

The victory was a relief after coach Mike Budenholzer was ejected and fined $25,000 for making contact with an official in Saturday's 109-97 loss at Cleveland.

''I think that was a little closer to what we want to be and how we want to both ends of the court,'' Budenholzer said. ''The competitive spirit was closer to where we need it to be.''

Millsap finished 10 of 14 from the field and scored 25 points, while Teague added 16 and nine assists.

''We had some hard practices,'' Teague said. ''We preached in the film session playing harder, competing. We have to make (teams) fear us."

It's unclear if starting guard Kent Bazemore, who has missed the last four with a sprained right ankle, will return for this contest.
