0:00.0	This is the daymore NBA podcast, brought you by Blue Wire Podcasts.
0:17.9	Coming out on Monday night after a Timberwolves home lost, the Atlanta Hawks,
0:21.9	121 to 110 in a game that didn't really feel as close as that 11-point margin.
0:28.0	And let's just kind of start by setting the scene here quick for those of you who missed the game.
0:33.1	Patrick Beverly missed his sixth straight game tonight.
0:36.0	I had heard that this game had been the one he was targeting for a return,
0:40.2	but ultimately Beverly just got in some five-on-five run with Wolves' backups and coaches this morning.

1:20.4	So I'm not sure exactly what's going on there.
1:22.6	But I don't have any reason to believe it's something that will be keeping them out of Wednesday's game against Utah.
1:29.0	I haven't really asked, but it certainly doesn't have the vibe of something super serious.
1:34.0	But anyways, both Beverly and Delo being out left the wolves with only Leandro Ball Morrow and Jordan McLaughlin at point guard.
1:40.6	Noel sometimes mixes in there too, but he also missed the game with back
