The Boston Celtics (13-3) will welcome the Minnesota Timberwolves (8-7) for a Sunday night clash at the TD Garden. The Wolves have been in a rut recently as they’ve only won two out of their last six games and will be hoping to be on the better end of the result in Boston after coming up short against the Raptors on Thursday.

On the other hand, the Celtics have been cruising in the league, winning five of their last six games, and have won four straight games. Jaylen Brown was the star of the show in Friday night’s win over the Wizards, scoring 31 points and 11 rebounds. Furthermore, Boston leads in the head-to-head battle by 45-22.

Interestingly, the Celtics have won the past 17 meetings between the two sides played in Boston, and the Wolves’ last win at TD Garden came way back in 2005. Can Anthony Edwards and Co. change that tonight? However, it won’t be easy given the history of the matchup and the form Boston currently possess.

Minnesota heads into the game slightly shorthanded, with one player still on the injury list, while Boston faces uncertainties of its own. Despite the challenges, the matchup promises to be an exciting watch. Let’s dive into the latest updates on player availability and take a closer look at how the two teams stack up against each other.

Celtics vs Timberwolves Injury Reports

These are the latest updates regarding player availability ahead of the matchup.

Boston Celtics Injury Report

The other player on the report is Boston’s other center who has been out since the start of the season, Kristaps Porzingis, who has now been assigned to Maine Celtics for practice and is on his path to recovery from his foot surgery.

Minnesota Timberwolves Injury Report

The Timberwolves only have a single player on their injury report and that is their guard Mike Conley, who has played 13 games, starting all of them and averaging 7.5 points and 4.8 assists. He is out due to a toe injury and will be absent from tonight’s clash.

Minnesota Timberwolves

The Timberwolves are underpowered with Mike Conley’s injury and the Celtics could also miss their center Al Horford. But, given the history and Boston’s form, they have the upper hand in this matchup and will be looking to make it five wins out of five tonight. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have been in great shape and will be tough to compete against. The Wolves will have to perform at their best, especially Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle.
