KEY GAME INFORMATION
MINNESOTA: GUARDS: RICKY RUBIO could be back by late December, but even he's not confident his knee will be 100 percent. His minutes might have to be scaled back . . . LUKE RIDNOUR will handle the offense with Rubio hampered. The vet is a steady hand in coach Rick Adelman's Euro-style offense . . . They're counting on BRANDON ROY to reclaim his old form after a radical knee procedure. He may never be 100 percent, but he should at least give them sixth-man minutes . . . CHASE BUDINGER is a three-point marksman who moves well off the ball, a perfect fit in Adelman's system . . . J.J. BAREA will take some of the point guard burden as well. He's a top sixth man . . . ALEXEY SHVED can help as a combo guard, though he might have trouble breaking into this rotation . . . MALCOLM LEE is a defensive stopper who won't be asked to shoot very often. FORWARDS: Despite being limited athletically, KEVIN LOVE is an elite rebounder and shooter for a big. He'll continue to be the focal point of this offense once he returns from a broken hand in early December . . . ANDREI KIRILENKO returns to the States after a dominating Euroleague stint. He's a big upgrade at the three and should be comfortable in Adelman's system . . . DERRICK WILLIAMS will continue his attempted transition to the three. As last year proved, he's a long, long ways away. He might have to play himself into a rotation spot . . . DANTE CUNNINGHAM is a nice, efficient big to bring off the bench . . . Since they need shooting on the wings, rookie ROBBIE HUMMEL has a chance to crack the rotation. CENTERS: NIKOLA PEKOVIC is a beast, the best offensive rebounder in the NBA. His total rebounding numbers get hurt playing alongside Kevin Love, but Pekovic will continue to bully his way to put-backs . . . GREG STIEMSMA is going to come in and do some pushing and shoving (and occasional shot-blocking) for 12-to-15 MPG.
GOLDEN STATE: GUARDS: STEPHEN CURRY is this offense's engine and a stat-stuffing machine, as long as he's healthy. His ankle should be healed, but his small frame hasn't proven to be up to the rigors of the NBA . . . KLAY THOMPSON is a pure shooter who played himself into a starting job last year. He's a bit one-dimensional, but this spread, up-tempo offense is right up his alley . . . JARRETT JACK will back up both guard spots and provide some insurance for the fragile Curry . . . BRANDON RUSH is going to push for a starting job, but he's never proven to be more than a second-unit talent . . . As a rookie, CHARLES JENKINS proved worthy of a roster spot during his late-season audition. But he'll be looking at a lot of DNP-CDs as long as Curry and Jack are healthy. FORWARDS: DAVID LEE's touches will drop alongside Andrew Bogut. The Warriors seem prepared to give him major minutes despite his defensive shortcomings . . . HARRISON BARNES should push for a starting job early. He's not a great iso player, but the Warriors' offense should set him up with catch-and-score opportunities . . . CARL LANDRY is active around the basket and should do some damage over 20 MPG . . . RICHARD JEFFERSON is going to be in a mentor role until his contract expires in two years . . . JEREMY TYLER is young and a borderline usable big off the bench . . . Second-rounder DRAYMOND GREEN isn't an athlete but does a bit of everything. He figures to have a limited role as a rookie. CENTERS: His fractured ankle is not quite 100 percent, but ANDREW BOGUT hopes to be healed enough when the season starts to be the centerpiece of the frontcourt. He can rebound and defend, and he'll get his share of easy scoring opportunities with so many shooters spreading the floor . . . The Warriors seem content to let ANDRIS BIEDRINS rot on the bench . . . Rookie FESTUS EZELI is too raw offensively to see significant minutes.

*Timberwolves-Warriors Preview* ===============================

By MATT BEARDMORE STATS Writer

Minnesota (29-47) at Golden State (44-33), 10:30 p.m. EDT

The Golden State Warriors just failed to lock up their first playoff berth in six seasons. Now they'll need some help if they're going to get that done Tuesday night.

Golden State goes for a sixth straight victory over an improving Minnesota Timberwolves team that's seeking its fourth win in five games.

Golden State (44-33) could have punched its postseason ticket for the first time since 2006-07 on Sunday against Utah. The Warriors, though, fell 97-90 for their first loss in four games.

"They played like a team that their playoff lives depended on this game," Golden State coach Mark Jackson said of the Jazz. "We played, at times, like a team that had a cushion."

The Warriors have a one-game lead over Houston for the sixth seed, but with the Rockets facing conference-worst Phoenix on Tuesday, there's no room for error. Houston also owns the tiebreaker by virtue of taking three of four from Golden State.

"We still control our own situation, which is good, but you don't want to have this feeling again," point guard Stephen Curry said. "We've got to get it done and there's no excuse for us not to."

The Warriors, though, will need help for that to happen Tuesday. They'll clinch a playoff spot if they complete a four-game sweep of Minnesota (29-47) and the Los Angeles Lakers lose at home to New Orleans.

The Warriors can't concern themselves with that game, as they'll be facing a Timberwolves team that's won six of 10 while scoring at least 107 points five times in that span. Minnesota has hit that mark in its past three victories.

The Wolves beat Detroit 107-101 on Saturday to make coach Rick Adelman the eighth coach in history with 1,000 wins.

"He deserves it," said point guard Ricky Rubio, who went 1 for 13 from the field but had six assists, five rebounds and five steals. "What he did this season, it's amazing. He stayed with the team. He had some issues, but he gets through those issues and still gets with us."

The injury-plagued Timberwolves will miss the playoffs for a ninth consecutive season, but they have a chance to win four straight road games for the first time since Jan. 3-19, 2009.

Minnesota, which fell 96-85 at Oakland on Nov. 24, could get off to a good start on its three-game trip with another big effort from Nikola Pekovic. The third-year center has averaged 22.7 points and 11.1 rebounds in his last seven contests.

Pekovic has scored 38 points in two games against Golden State this season after missing the first meeting - a 106-98 home loss Nov. 16 - with a sprained left ankle.

Golden State's David Lee notched his third consecutive and league-best 52nd double-double Sunday with 21 points and 13 rebounds, but it wasn't enough to get him into the playoffs for the first time in his eight-year career.

"It's going to happen another night," Lee said.
