Minnesota's frontcourt is expected to follow a similar script after a successful 2024-25 campaign, with Randle and Rudy Gobert leading the way. Naz Reid will also contribute, but his usage was lower than usual during Wednesday's win. Randle's contributions in ancillary categories are historically excellent, and he showed those skills off with six rebounds and six assists in the victory.
