<p>Looking to end their five-game losing streak at the FedEx Forum, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.canishoopus.com/">Minnesota Timberwolves</a> are hanging in there against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.grizzlybearblues.com/">Memphis Grizzlies</a> through 24 minutes, trailing by just three at the half, 44-41.</p>
<p>The Timberwolves are shooting a poor 39-percent through the first half (the starters are 11-for-30), but second chances and nine Grizzlies' turnovers have helped Minnesota keep the game relatively close despite the Grizzlies shooting close to 50-percent for most of the first half (they finished at 45-percent). </p>
<p><span>Kevin Love</span> leads the Timberwolves with 11 points on 4-for-9 shooting and five rebounds. <span>Martell Webster</span> has seven points and six rebounds in a quarter of action. </p>
<p><span>Rudy Gay</span> leads the Grizz with 12 points. They've received eight points and seven rebounds from <span>Dante Cunningham</span>. </p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.canishoopus.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Minnesota Timberwolves</a> look to get things turned around against the <a href="https://www.grizzlybearblues.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Memphis Grizzlies</a> Tuesday night at the FedEx Forum, where the Timberwolves have lost five consecutive times.</p>
<p>Minnesota has lost seven of its last 10 games and fallen to 11th in the Western Conference standings, while Memphis dropped six of its last eight games before defeating the <a href="https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Los Angeles Lakers</a> on Sunday. The Grizzlies are in the process of reacclimating <span>Zach Randolph</span> into the lineup following an extended absence due to a knee injury.</p>
<p><span>Kevin Love</span> is averaging 30.8 points and 13.9 rebounds per game this month, but the Timberwolves have been rocked by injuries, especially the season-ending ACL tear to <span>Ricky Rubio</span>.</p>
<p>Minnesota will be without center <span>Nikola Pekovic</span> due to an ankle injury, while Jose Juan Barea is also questionable with a right thigh contusion. Neither Pekovic nor Barea played in Minnesota's win on Sunday over the <a href="https://www.denverstiffs.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Denver Nuggets</a>.</p>
