Minnesota Timberwolves vs Boston Celtics: Key matchups

Anthony Edwards vs Jrue Holiday

Anthony Edwards has evolved as the alpha player for the Timberwolves. His emergence has provided a boost to them on offense by becoming their go-to guy. Jrue Holiday is going to be key for the Celtics to slow him down, along with Derrick White.

Edwards has averaged 28 points, four rebounds and four assists against Jrue Holiday.

Jayson Tatum vs Jaden McDaniels

Jayson Tatum is having a great season, averaging 28 points on 48% shooting while also grabbing nine boards and five assists. He's putting himself in the MVP contention with the Celtics' success and stellar averages.

Jaden McDaniels is quietly having an All-NBA defensive calibre season for the Wolves, consistently being matched up with the best perimeter wings and guards night in and out.

Opponents are shooting 40% from the paint when guarded by McDaniels and 45% from mid-range. This matchup could dictate the game significantly.
