Timberwolves open NBA season with home games against Thunder, Jazz

The Timberwolves will open the NBA season with home games that have interesting story lines.

The Wolves start at Target Center against Oklahoma City on Oct. 19 and Utah on Oct. 21.

Oklahoma City's first round pick, and the second pick overall, was Minneapolis native Chet Holmgren of Gonzaga. And during the offseason, Utah and the Wolves executed a major trade with All-NBA center Rudy Gobert coming to Minnesota.
