Projected Starting Lineups:
Reserves:
Washington is a very dangerous team, but playing in Minnesota is a very tough place to win in. The Wizards are scoring 101 PPG, and they force other teams into a lot of TO's. The Gilbert Arenas/Cassell matchup should give Minnesota a lot of problems, but Washington really doesn't have anybody that could even decently guard Garnett. If this gets into a shoot-out, Washington could win this game. If Minnesota slows the pace down, and takes care of the ball, they should be able to win this game. They can't take them lightly, because Washington is seriously talented.
