NETS vs TIMBERWOLVES Watch Live Stream Online & Listen: Live Coverage from Target Center Minnesota

Tags:

Tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET the Brooklyn Nets (3-8), one of the NBA's most shocking disappointments early in the year, will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves (7-5) at the Target Center in NBA action that can be live streamed here. Nets fans can catch the radio broadcast on 101.9 WFAN FM, while Wolves backers can her the game on 1500 ESPN Twin Cities.

The Nets have struggled mightily with injuries and finding a flow offensively, and things aren't looking up with point guard Deron Williams potentially sidelined with another ankle injury. "We don't know how long he's going to be out but, hopefully it's a speedy recovery," first-year coach Jason Kidd said.

The Nets have also been without Brook Lopez, arguably the NBA's best offensve center, while he nursed his own ankle ailment. He is considered a gametime decision tonight as well, but his size could be used in the paint.

"Fifty-two points in the paint is unacceptable," said backup big man Andray Blatche following their latest defeat. "It's our song all season. We keep saying it's early, but until we buckle down on defense, it's going to be the same results. We've got to take pride because it's embarrassing. It's real embarrassing."

Minnesota has lost their last two games and are admitting fatigue following a grueling stretch of five games in seven nights. "We were just tired, I think, and it's not getting any easier heading forward," Kevin Love said. "Nights happen like that and you just try to fight through it. I was a little frustrated. I was getting slammed out there."

Despite a putrid 2-of-14 performance from the field in a four-point loss to the Clippers, he's still averaging 25.4 points and 13.3 rebounds a night. He might be able to get on track against Lopez, who despite his stature is only pulling down 4.1 rebounds a night.
