Both San Antonio and Minnesota are in the central time zone, and the first three games of the series won't start until 8:30 p.m. Wolves fans have grown accustomed to late starts, and that has just become the norm for teams in the central zone that are in the Western Conference.

It will be a mix of the NBC, ESPN and Amazon Prime broadcast crews, as the Wolves look to pull off a second straight upset. They will be shorthanded without Donte DiVincenzo, while the status of Anthony Edwards and Ayo Dosunmu remains in question heading into Monday's Game.
