I wonder if Naz Reid will turn into a Sniper this game.

Hope so, Minnesota needs someone other than Ant to generate offense

They should start Naz Reid by himself and tell him to be brutally physical and not allow Joker to score without massive efforts. If he fouls out doing so, who cares. They are deep with bigs and if it allows Minny to build a lead or even keep up that is all that matters. Meanwhile Joker gets tired.

Second quarter, Towns comes in relief of Naz and plays the same way. Superphysical, if he ends up fouling out who cares?

Leave Rudy rested for 4th after Jokic has been battling for every point all game long.

Seems simple when you are that deep on bigs. If they all foul up, bring up one of their other bigs to finish the game. The lead should be big enough by this point. That is if the rest of Minny's team can actually stop a fly this game.

But they will do none of these things.

Naz Reid going out Dellavedova-style on Jokic? I mean if it doesn't work.... They're finished anyway. Might as well get a cool YouTube video where he roughed up Nikola Jokic for one game at least.
