Six games into his Timberwolves career, Micah Jessie has been as advertised. The silky smooth shooting guard has shown the ability to score, to create looks for teammates, to rebound, and to defend, delighting TWolves fans along the way. The third-year product of Washington will need to be assertive against Calgary’s hard-nosed defensive style, leading the way for Todd Jordan’s gameplan.

A dynamic and dangerous scoring guard, Santiago has been a leader for the Dinos this season. In his fifth-year, the long-limbed product of Oakville, Ontario will be leaned on to create offense for a Calgary program against a TWolves defense that has been relatively stout this year.
