The Minnesota Timberwolves have been centered on Karl-Anthony Towns since he was drafted first overall in 2015, but this season he has a teammate that's making a big impact. D'Angelo Russell, who has had a nomadic career since he was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers right after Towns, has been a steadying force for Minnesota this season. Minnesota has another losing streak hanging over its head and hopes to erase that one, too. The Timberwolves have lost 12 straight games to the Denver Nuggets and will try to avoid a 13th consecutive loss when they visit Denver on Wednesday night.
