Tuesday night's NBA slate includes an intriguing rematch of last year's Western Conference Semifinals, as the Timberwolves take on the Nuggets in Denver.

The Denver Nuggets will get a short-handed Minnesota squad on Tuesday night after two Timberwolves were suspended for an on-court altercation earlier this week.

Minnesota (43-32) beat the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night in a game that escalated into a near-brawl in the second quarter and now takes that attitude into Denver to face the Nuggets on Tuesday night.

Pistons big man Isaiah Stewart was suspended for two games, while forward Ron Holland Jr. and guard Marcus Sasser were each suspended for one game. Minnesota’s Naz Reid and Donte DiVincenzo were each given a one-game suspension as well.
