On Tuesday, February 24, 2026, the Minnesota Timberwolves travel to the Moda Center to face the Portland Trail Blazers.
Entering late February 2026, the Minnesota Timberwolves occupy the sixth seed in the Western Conference with a record of 35-23. While the team’s statistical profile suggests they are a legitimate championship contender, currently ranking 7th in both offensive and defensive rating, their season has been marred by a perceived lack of consistency and a frustrating tendency to drop games against undermanned or sub-.500 opponents.
The Portland Trail Blazers enter the February 24 matchup with a 28-30 record, placing them ninth in the Western Conference and firmly in the mix for a Play-In Tournament spot. The health of Deni Avdija is the central concern for the Blazers as they prepare for the Timberwolves. Avdija has emerged as the centerpiece of Portland’s rebuild, averaging 25.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 6.8 assists while providing elite playmaking as a “point-forward”. However, Avdija aggravated a recurring lower back injury during the first minute of a February 22 win over the Phoenix Suns, and his availability for Tuesday is currently questionable. If Avdija is sidelined, the offensive burden shifts significantly to veteran Jerami Grant and rookie Donovan Clingan. Clingan has been a revelation in February, recording five double-doubles in nine appearances and currently ranking third in the NBA in rebounds per game (11.4).

How to watch Minnesota Timberwolves @ Portland Trail Blazers online – national and local U.S. TV channels & live streams
The primary vehicle for domestic viewers to access the February 24 matchup is Peacock, NBCUniversal’s flagship streaming service, which has become the exclusive home for Tuesday night NBA contests under the league’s new media architecture. This shift is part of an $11-year deal that reintroduces the NBA to NBC’s airwaves for the first time in over two decades, though the bulk of the regular-season inventory is strategically placed on Peacock to drive subscriber growth. The game is scheduled for a tip-off at 10:00 PM ET (7:00 PM local time in Portland), and viewers will require a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus subscription to access the live stream. Current pricing for Peacock Premium starts at $7.99 per month or $79.99 annually, providing access to roughly 100 regular-season games, including exclusive “Peacock NBA Monday” matchups and Sunday doubleheaders.
The production value of these Peacock-exclusive games is designed to mirror the high-stakes atmosphere of the “NBA on NBC” era of the 1990s. The broadcast talent pool features industry leaders such as Mike Tirico, who leads the primary play-by-play coverage, often supported by high-profile analysts including Reggie Miller, Jamal Crawford, and Grant Hill. In addition to live coverage, the Peacock platform offers an interactive “Live Boxscore” and post-game analysis, ensuring that the digital experience remains competitive with traditional linear television. For those unable to watch the game live, NBA League Pass provides on-demand replays for all out-of-market games, though local blackout restrictions still apply in the Minnesota and Portland regions for those attempting to stream through the league’s primary app.
