What happened: With Anthony Edwards sidelined for right knee injury management, Minnesota turns to its backcourt and wing depth to absorb his offensive workload. LaMelo Ball, Jaden McDaniels, Ayo Dosunmu and Jonathan Kuminga are positioned to take on the additional shot attempts, per Anthony Slater.

Why it matters: Bones Hyland summed up the roster's scoring depth by saying, 'We're loaded.' Distributing playmaking and scoring duties across four options prevents Minnesota from relying on a single replacement to match Edwards' volume.

What to watch: Minnesota is scheduled for tipoff on Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 8:00 PM ET, providing an immediate look at how the rotation divides touches.
