Wolves coach Randy Wittman said this morning he expects to center Theo
Ratliff, who missed Monday’s practice because of flu-like symptoms, to
start tonight against young Orlando star Dwight Howard in the middle.
Gerald Green, suffering from an infected toe, is a game-time decision
as to whether he sits on the bench most of the night or all of the
night.
 
 
Van Gundy mentioned how much he respected Al Jefferson in the paint,
talked about never underestimating an NBA team and discussed how Hedo
Turkoglu has been able to be effective of late. He also ruled reserve
guard J.J. Redick out for the evening.
