Finch did not mention the change during his pregame media availability. The Wolves ruled out Rob Dillingham due to a right ankle sprain. Josh Minott, listed as questionable due to illness, is active against the Clippers, who are at full strength aside from P.J. Tucker, who's been away from the team since October.

Two days after Timberwolves coach Chris Finch defended keeping the same starting five even though his team had lost six of its last nine games, he changed his lineup against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night at Target Center.
