Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Cleveland Cavaliers: Key matchups

Nickeil Alexander-Walker vs. Donovan Mitchell

Nickeil Alexander-Walker is one of the best three-and-D talents on the Timberwolves roster. Standing 6-foot-5 with a 6-foot-9.5 wingspan, Alexander-Walker has proven to be a reliable hand in terms of containing perimeter threats. He'll have his hands full with Donovan Mitchell, the five-time All-Star who's averaging a career-high 39.4% from beyond the arc.

Naz Reid vs. Evan Mobley

Both Naz Reid and Evan Mobley represent the evolution of the big man in today's game. Reid, the reigning Sixth Man of the Year, is an excellent defender who can cover multiple positions. Mobley, who has been named to his first All-Star team this season, is an agile threat from inside and outside.

Rudy Gobert vs. Jarrett Allen

If the matchup at the power forward position showcases stretch forwards, the duel of centers is a battle between traditional bigs. Four-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert and former All-Star Jarrett Allen will look to provide excellent rim protection for their respective teams.
