Utah star Carlos Boozer plays in his second game after he missed three months and 44 games because of a knee injury. Expect him to start against a Wolves team that’s playing its 17th of 22 sets of back to back games. (They’re 4-12 so far in the second half of them).

He had two points and five rebounds in 21 minutes in his return Monday against Atlanta.

Judging from some of the comments here, you might have noticed Kevin Love wasn’t on the floor for a second in the fourth quarter of the last two games. Kevin McHale said that will change today. He said he was experimenting with lineups Tuesday in Toronto to see if he could find one that could bring home victory, but admitted before tonight’s game that Love has to be part of that equation.

“I probably should have played him some last night, but I think we’re all looking to see what we’ve got here,” McHale said. “I was experimenting with some things, trying to figure out what kind of groups and style we’re going to play to end games. I think Kevin’s got to be part of that group because of his rebounding and all he does. It’ll be good for him. He needs to be out there.”

The guy to watch for at the end tonight is, of course, Mehmet Okur, who has beaten the Wolves late in the first two meetings this season.
