The Boston Celtics are set for a showdown on Thursday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Here's what you need to know before tip-off between the contenders.

Tatum ranks fourth in the NBA with 28.3 ppg, and this 26.5 O/U line feels a little light given that Porzingis has been ruled out and Jaylen Brown is listed as questionable. He knocked down five 3-pointers in his last matchup against Minnesota, and he poured in 43 points against the Bulls last month.

The Timberwolves enter a challenging week on the schedule but might have turned the corner after a slow start.
