16. LA Clippers

The LA Clippers have had a good season considering all that they have faced this year. There’s still an outside chance that Paul George returns this season but I’m not sure that’s something that should be leaned on.

The Clippers will be building momentum heading into next season, hopefully when both George and Kawhi Leonard are back to 100 percent.

15. Minnesota Timberwolves

It seems as if something has clicked for the Minnesota Timberwolves this season. After being known as a team that has consistently not lived up to its potential, the opposite has been the case this season for the Wolves.

Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns have been great for each other and they seem like a duo that could be quite dangerous heading into the playoffs.
