KEY GAME INFORMATION

MINNESOTA: LAST SEASON: 36-46, finished 11th in Western Conference.
COACH: Ryan Saunders (second season, 17-25 as interim coach last season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Jeff Teague (12.1 ppg), G Andrew Wiggins (18.1), F Jake Layman (7.6), F Robert Covington (14.5), C Karl-Anthony Towns (24.4).
KEY LOSSES: G Derrick Rose, G Tyus Jones, F Taj Gibson, F Dario Saric, F Anthony Tolliver, G Jerryd Bayless, F Luol Deng.
KEY ADDITIONS: Layman, G Jarrett Culver, G Shabazz Napier, G/F Treveon Graham, F Noah Vonleh, F Jordan Bell, G Jaylen Nowell, C Naz Reid.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Towns is as versatile of a big man as there is in the league, but he can't carry the scoring load alone so the pressure will be on Wiggins to take a step forward under Saunders in the second year of his max contract extension carrying a $27 million salary cap hit. Having a healthy Covington, the team's best defender who arrived in the Jimmy Butler trade from the Sixers last season but missed the last 45 games because of a bone bruise on his knee, will be a critical factor. Culver, the sixth overall pick in the draft out of NCAA runner up Texas Tech, ought to provide more of that valuable perimeter defense along with Josh Okogie off the bench. Either of them could crack the starting lineup at some point, too.
OUTLOOK: The Timberwolves have started fresh, yet again, with Saunders, the youngest coach in the league, beneath an overhauled front office headed by new president of basketball operations Gersson Rosas. With Towns and Wiggins, they have a pair of under-25 standouts locked in, and a quiet offseason relative to the rest of the NBA yielded some useful role players in Layman, Vonleh, Bell, Napier and Graham. The first steps are to establish themselves as a far more consistent and efficient team on defense and shooting from the outside. With the Western Conference even more loaded than before, though, it will be tough to measure progress in the standings. Increasing their win total will be a tall order.

UTAH: LAST SEASON: 50-32, lost 4-1 to Houston in Western Conference first round.
COACH: Quin Snyder (sixth season, 227-183).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Mike Conley (21.1 ppg), G Donovan Mitchell (23.8), F Bojan Bogdanovic. (18.0), F Joe Ingles (12.1), C Rudy Gobert (15.9)
KEY LOSSES: F/C Derrick Favors, G Ricky Rubio, F Jae Crowder, G Kyle Korver.
KEY ADDITIONS: Conley, Bogdanovic, F Jeff Green, C Ed Davis, G Emmanuel Mudiay.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: All eyes will be on Mitchell to see if he can emerge as a true All-Star this season. The third-year guard, who averaged at least 20 points in each of his first two seasons, won't have to shoulder as big of a load in creating the offense with Conley now sharing the backcourt. Gobert is a two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year and will anchor one of the league's best defenses again. He posted career-highs in points (15.9) and rebounds (12.9) per game a year ago. Bogdanovic adds a valuable shooter on the wing with Ingles that should give the Jazz an improved outside scoring punch. He shot a career-high 42.5 percent from 3-point range last season.
OUTLOOK: The Jazz are well positioned to take a step forward and become a Western Conference title contender. Conley gives Utah a veteran point guard who is a legit scoring threat in addition to a strong passer. Bogdanovic and Green will also shore up shooting and help Conley take away some of the pressure from Ingles and Mitchell to get it all done on offense. Utah's fortunes, ultimately, will rise and fall on the continued progression of the central star duo of Mitchell and Gobert. If the Jazz offense can catch up to the team's elite defense this season, few teams will be able hang with Utah as the season progresses.

PREVIEW

Timberwolves hoping Wiggins returns vs. Jazz

The Minnesota Timberwolves look like a team that badly needs Andrew Wiggins on the court.

While nothing official has been announced, the Timberwolves are anticipating that Wiggins will return from a two-game absence due to personal reasons when they visit the Utah Jazz on Monday in the first game of a back-to-back between the teams.

Wiggins has been away attending to a family matter, and Minnesota has been blown out in both games, losing 137-116 to the Washington Wizards on Friday and 125-105 to the Houston Rockets on Saturday.

"One thing I will say is family is family and we are family," Timberwolves coach Ryan Saunders told reporters. "Andrew has the time that he needs to deal with any personal matters, as everybody within the organization does."

Wiggins has been enjoying a breakout season after being viewed as an underachiever over his first five NBA seasons.

The former No. 1 overall pick is averaging 25.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists and shooting 47.8 percent from the field in 11 games. Last season, Wiggins averaged 18.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists and shot a career-low 41.2 percent from the floor.

Wiggins has topped 20 points in each of his past seven games, scoring 30 or more in four of them. He is averaging 29.1 points during the stretch.

Wiggins fared well against the Jazz last season by averaging 22.3 points and 5.8 rebounds in four games. Utah won three of the contests.

The Jazz had a four-game winning streak halted on Friday when they fell 107-106 to the Memphis Grizzlies.

The setback came in point guard Mike Conley's return to Memphis, the city he called home for 12 seasons while starring for the Grizzlies. Conley scored 15 points but was 5 of 19 from the field, including 2 of 8 from 3-point range.

"It was disappointing to lose, obviously," Conley said afterward. "It was a hard game to play, but it was special. A lot of emotions. Part of you is soaking it all in and the other part of you is trying to focus and stay locked into the game. I'm glad I got it over with. It was an amazing experience. It just would've been better if we'd won."

Star shooting guard Donovan Mitchell continued his strong start with 29 points, nine rebounds and five assists. However, he was unable to get off a last-second shot as he was stripped of the ball by Memphis' Solomon Hill.

Mitchell said there should have been a whistle.

"I got fouled. Really not much else to it," Mitchell told reporters. "They defended it well, but (he) hit my whole arm."

Mitchell, who is averaging 25.4 points, has topped 20 points in 10 of Utah's 12 games, recording 30 or more on three occasions.

Minnesota hopes it can hold Mitchell in check better than it did James Harden, who scored 49 points for the Rockets on Saturday.

It certainly was a volume night for Harden, who took 41 shots (making 16). He was 8 of 22 from 3-point range.

"I'm a no-excuse person," Saunders said. "Who's on the court is on the court. But we have to do more things to make teams like that uncomfortable. James Harden is a heck of a player. He's one of the best scorers you'll ever see. And he took 41 shots. I thought we made him work for some of them. But some of them, we didn't."
