Target Center will be rocking tonight for Game 3 of Wolves-Lakers, but there won't be a crowd whiteout.

Driving the news: The team will supply rally towels at each seat, but won't put out white T-shirts like last year, Wolves chief marketing officer Mike Grahl told Axios.

If the Wolves advance, they will do whiteouts, he added.

State of play: Tonight's pivotal game is drawing huge interest. Target Center is sold out and nosebleed seats on the secondary market start around $160 after fees.

The cheapest lower-level seats as of Thursday afternoon were $300 apiece.

Flashback: The team struggled to keep up its supply of merchandise during last year's deep playoff run, but that shouldn't be the case this year. Grahl said a collection of special playoff merchandise is available on the team's online and in-arena stores.

The Wolves ranked 10th of 30 NBA teams for retail sales this season and Anthony Edwards' jersey was the 7th-best selling, he added.
