Bench -- Center Theo Ratliff, Forward Jason Maxiell, Forward Amir Johnson, Forward Jarvis Hayes, Guard Arron Afflalo, Guard Rodney Stuckey.
PLAYER NOTES: --Power forward Jason Maxiell has 28 points in the last two games after scoring just 11 in the previous four.
"Maxy's one of those guys, you can watch him early in the game and tell whether he's got his energy up," Saunders said. "It's not like he can turn it on."
--Power forward Antonio McDyess notched his team-high 16th double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. It was just his second double-double in March.
--Center Theo Ratliff played 19 minutes against Cleveland after getting just five minutes of action the previous two games. Saunders used Ratliff to combat the Cavs' large frontcourt and he helped to hold Zydrunas Ilgauskas to 11 points while blocking two shots.
--Shooting guard Juan Dixon missed his fourth consecutive game with a calf strain. Dixon is doubtful to return in Minnesota.
