NBA: Mid-season playoff seeding predictions for the East and West
10. Minnesota Timberwolves
There’s really no way for the Minnesota Timberwolves to salvage what this season has evolved into. However, it would be a major story (and not a great one) if the Wolves didn’t at least back their way into the playoffs as a Play-In Tournament candidate.
If the Wolves do make a move at the NBA Trade Deadline (perhaps swap out D’Angelo Russell for a point guard that fits better), it could catapult this team up the standings. If they don’t, I don’t have much hope for this team finishing in the top 10.

My thinking here in penciling the Wolves over a team such as the Los Angeles Lakers is that I can’t count on the latter to be healthy.
