The Milwaukee Bucks face the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center on Wednesday night in their first meeting of the season. Both teams have struggled for consistency as they look to avoid their 25th defeat of the campaign.
With a 28-24 record, the Milwaukee Bucks have been dealt with the same number of losses as the Timberwolves (30-24) who have played two games more. The two teams also enter the fixture off defeats, with the Bucks losing to the Warriors, while the Timberwolves lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Milwaukee Bucks have been a shell of their former selves despite winning the NBA Cup. Losing eight of their opening 10 games, the Bucks seemed to be in a dire situation. However, they have since recovered well and are fifth in the Eastern Conference but have lost four of their six games this month.

Meanwhile, the Timberwolves have had a mixed season. They are seventh in the Western Conference, but a win will see them enter the playoff spots and displace the Clippers in sixth. However, their performances this month have been mixed, winning three of their six games.
