Less than 48 hours ago, the Timberwolves began their regular season in near picture-perfect fashion . They beat the Heat in Miami 131-106. Minnesota’s offense was dialed in, the defense was mature, and Anthony Edwards scored a historic 45 points, setting a new franchise high for most points scored by a Wolves player in a season opener.

The Wolves are now 236 miles north in Orlando, where they will play the Magic at 6 PM CT this evening. The Magic are coming off a 132-125 home loss in their season opener against the Hawks. Paolo Banchero scored 35 points on 10 of 12 from the floor, but Orlando’s defense struggled both inside and out, allowing the Hawks to shoot 49% from the floor and old friend Nickeil Alexander-Walker to score 31 points in 30 minutes.
