Behind 44 points from Anthony Edwards, the T-wolves blew out the Memphis Grizzlies 141-125 on Thursday to move into a tie for sixth place in the West. There are now six teams — Timberwolves, Grizzlies, Los Angeles Lakers, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers, Golden State Warriors — within two games of each other in the standings.

This will be the first time the Grizzlies will play the Timberwolves without Jaylen Wells in their lineup. Wells, who broke his wrist in Tuesday's game, is usually assigned the top perimeter scorer from the opposing team. He guarded Anthony Edwards in the Grizzlies' previous meetings against Minnesota.
