The Minnesota Timberwolves came into this season vowing to make the playoffs in the Western Conference. A strong finish after the all-star break assured that of happening, which coincided with the team's health down the stretch. Minnesota finished the season at 46-36, comfortably slotted in the 7th spot in the Western Conference. Minnesota is led by all-star center Karl-Anthony Towns. Towns led the team in points, rebounds and blocked shots this season. In addition, he vastly improved his long range game. Towns shot 41% from 3pt range this season and 53% overall. Also Anthony Edwards' game improved across the board in his second season despite missing ten games with various injuries. Edwards is second on the team in scoring, 1st in 3pt shooting and 1st in steals. Minnesota should have the services of starting point guard D'Angelo Russell on Tuesday as he has missed time with an illness recently. Russell provides the Wolves with a critical 3rd scorer and leads the team with 7.1 assists per game. The most important player off the bench for the Wolves is veteran guard Patrick Beverly. Beverly provides Minnesota with a hard-nosed defender and ball handler with Russell out or moved over to the 2 guard. The T-Wolves at home were very good going 26-15 while the clippers struggled on the road going 17-24. Take the T-Wolves to get the win and lockup the #7 seed tonight!
