The biggest loss for them is that star center Steven Adams has been ruled out due to health and safety protocols.
That makes their task of containing All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns gets a lot harder.
The Grizzlies came into the series as heavy favorites after finishing the regular season as the second seed in the Western Conference.
However, the betting markets did not take into account just how good the Timberwolves are regardless of their seed.
This series has the potential to be the only matchup that goes to a Game 7 in the first-round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs.
The Timberwolves are led by Towns, D'Angelo Russell and Anthony Edwards.
