Michael Porter Jr. led the way for the Nets in Tuesday\u2019s victory as he ended the game with 28 points and five rebounds while Egor Demin recorded 20 points and five assists.<\/p>\n

While both teams are looking to pick up a victory in Saturday night\u2019s matchup, both squads may be without multiple key players due to injuries.<\/p>\n

The good news for Brooklyn is that Cam Thomas is off their injury report and will return on Saturday after being sidelined since November 2 due to a hamstring strain.<\/p>\n

This is massive news for the Nets as they will get their sharpshooting guard back against the Timberwolves, though he will likely be on a minutes restriction.<\/p>\n

Drake Powell will also return for the Nets on Saturday night after he missed the last two games due to an ankle injury.<\/p>\n

Timberwolves Injury Report, Will Anthony Edwards, Mike Conley Play?<\/p>\n

On the other side, the Timberwolves have four players listed on their injury report, including both Edwards and Mike Conley.<\/p>\n

Minnesota has listed Edwards as available for Saturday despite him dealing with right shoulder soreness after he was able to go through shootaround ahead of their game against the Nets.<\/p>\n

This is great news for the Timberwolves as Edwards has put together another great season and he will likely have a larger role once again on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Conley has also been listed as available as Minnesota will not choose to rest him against the Nets while Rob Dillingham has been listed as questionable with an illness.<\/p>\n
