Technically, the Timberwolves-Oklahoma City game tonight in Billings, Mont., is a Wolves’ home game, although the flies and the dust still swirl at Rimrock Auto Arena from the last stock show that was in town.

Craig Smith is not expected to play tonight because his knee that underwent surgery in August swelled on the flight from Minneapolis Tuesday night. He is getting treatment this afternoon and is a game-time decision.

There was a Calvin Booth sighting this morning. The big fellow who has missed all of the preseason so far worked out for the first time with his new teammates in a session that was all non contact.

Meanwhile, Brian Cardinal remains out because of a calf injury and Jason Collins was away in California on Tuesday and Wednesday to see his doctor about his elbow, which is recovering from surgery last month.

Randy Wittman plans to play Rodney Carney tonight more than he did in Monday’s runaway victory in Milwaukee and he hopes to continue to look at different combinations of players. He wants to see Randy Foye and Sebastian Telfair together, but said that might not come until Friday’s game at Denver.
