Welcome to a 4-game night in the NBA!<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n

Rudy Gobert has enjoyed a stellar start to his season for the Timberwolves, and he\u2019s the backbone of Minnesota\u2019s 111.9 defensive rating (6th in NBA) through 37 games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Indiana is at Charlotte to kick off the light four-game evening (7 ET, League Pass<\/a>), as the Pacers are looking to get coach Rick Carlisle\u2019s 1,000th career win and snap a 13-game losing streak.<\/p>\n

The Bulls play host to the Heat while aiming to stop a three-game skid of their own (8 ET, NBA TV<\/a>). Miami is coming off of a 122-94 loss to Minnesota on Tuesday, but they\u2019re expected to be fully healthy with Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo ready to suit up.<\/p>\n

Those same Timberwolves welcome the 21-17 Cleveland Cavaliers to town at Target Center (8 ET, League Pass<\/a>), with Anthony Edwards, Julius Randle and Co. going for a fourth consecutive victory.<\/p>\n

Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks look to make it three straight wins when they visit Keyonte George and the Jazz (9 ET, League Pass<\/a>), while Utah looks to get back in the win column after dropping five in a row.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
