The Timberwolves have only one preseason game at Target Center this season, and coincidentally it will conflict with a WNBA playoff game.

So the Wolves-Denver Nuggets game scheduled for Friday, Oct. 18, has been moved to Thursday, Oct. 17 at 7 p.m.

The Lynx and the New York Liberty have a best-of-five WNBA Finals series that starts Thursday night in Brooklyn.

Game 4 of the series, if necessary, is set for Target Center on Oct. 18.

The Wolves' next preseason game is Friday night against the Philadelphia 76ers in Des Moines; they face the New York Knicks — and former teammate Karl-Anthony Towns — on Sunday night at Madison Square Garden.

That game won't conflict, arena-wise, with the second game of the Lynx-Liberty series, which is at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

The Wolves open the NBA regular season on Oct. 22 in Los Angeles against the Lakers.
