Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Dallas Mavericks: Key matchups

Anthony Edwards vs. Luka Doncic

Both talented young stars are carrying their team's offensive load day to day. Both are expected to match each other's production and show out in an offense versus defense battle. The Wolves have their defense locking down teams this season, which will be an interesting watch when faced with the Mavericks' heavy-scoring style of play.

Kyrie Irving vs. Mike Conley

This will feature a savvy veteran in Mike Conley, who's great at controlling the tempo of the game and winning possessions by outsmarting and outhustling players, while Kyrie Irving is as gifted as players can be at scoring and creating their shot, both capable of winning a game of their talents.
