Draymond Green says the Timberwolves' drop coverage is giving Dallas easy scoring chances against elite guards. He wants more Kyle Anderson minutes and suggests benching Rudy Gobert to keep Anthony Edwards off Kyrie Irving, even though Gobert's plus-minus looks good.

When you're playing against great guards, in which Dallas has two great guards, and when you're playing that drop coverage the whole game, number one, you give any great guard in this league a steady diet of anything, they're gonna eat it up. What is your adjustment? Well, you can say, oh, they gotta come up to the level of the screen, and that's not really Rudy's strength. However, I think Rudy has been a lot better this year with being up at the level of the screen and not just getting his eye dotted from guards that's coming off the screen because he's in the drop. I think he's done a lot better this year moving his feet. I think Minnesota's adjustment is gonna have to be this, more Kyle Anderson. And that may even mean Rudy Gobert coming off the bench. Now I know what you're gonna say, Rudy Gobert had the highest plus-minus on the team last night or close to it. It wasn't Rudy Gobert's fault. And I'm not saying it is Rudy Gobert's fault. What I'm saying is they have a matchup issue. You gotta get Ant-Man off Kyrie.
