TimberWolves sorely missed Michael Beasley’s offense against Philadelphia, but he is hoping to return to the lineup Monday after sitting out the last three games with a sprained ankle. Beasley is averaging 20.7 points against the Blazers this season. Wolves are coming off Saturday’s 107-87 loss to Philadelphia, their second straight defeat following surprising road wins over New Orleans and Houston. Minnesota, 4-16 since Jan. 3, shot just 36.4 percent against the 76ers, and Kevin Love had a bit of an off night. Love had 16 points and 13 rebounds for his 40th consecutive double-double, but this came after he averaged 23.0 points and 15.3 boards in his previous three games. The first-time All-Star is averaging 23.7 points and 17.7 rebounds against Portland this year.
Portland won its fourth straight Sunday, 105-100 over Detroit, behind Aldridge’s 36 points - his lowest scoring total in the last three games. Aldridge had a career-best 42 points in last Monday’s 109-103 win over Chicago and 37 in Friday’s 102-96 victory over Toronto. He has recorded four of his six highest-scoring games of the season in the last two weeks. Most of this offense has come since Aldridge was passed over as a reserve for the Western Conference All-Star team, announced Feb. 3. The Timberwolves would probably agree. Aldridge, who leads the Blazers in scoring at 22.1 points, is averaging 33.7 points on 62.1 percent shooting and 10.7 rebounds in three games against Minnesota this season.
