What happened: Minnesota's starting five tonight is Zyon Pullin, Isaiah Evans, Nate Santos, Enrique Freeman and Rocco Zikarsky. Joan Beringer is out with back tightness, per the team.

Why it matters: The lineup gives Freeman and Zikarsky extended run alongside the same Isaiah Evans who factored into the Lakers' draft calculus in June. Beringer's absence trims Minnesota's frontcourt depth for the night.

What to watch: Watch for an update on Beringer's back tightness before Minnesota's next outing.
