30. Minnesota Timberwolves

There’s really not to say about the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is a team that appears set on finishing with the worst record in the Western Conference, if not the entire league. Nothing has gone their way this season and it appears they’re going to be without their second-leading scorer, Malik Beasley, for a few weeks.

Unless this team makes a big move at the NBA Trade Deadline, this is going to continue to be a trying season for the Wolves.

29. Detroit Pistons

The Detroit Pistons are another team that is already out of the playoff race in the Eastern Conference and is simply playing for pride and development as we near the halfway point of the 2020-21 NBA season.

Detroit will likely make a few roster moves between now and the end of the season and could have a different look at the start of next season.
