With seven games left, the Timberwolves are seventh in the West but only 1.5 games behind the fourth-place Suns and half a game behind the Warriors for sixth. There is still no time to get too comfortable, as Minnesota is just two games ahead of the 11th-paced Dallas Mavericks.

Anthony Edwards leads the team with 24.6 ppg this season in 72 games, and Towns is averaging 20.5 ppg, but has only played in 23 games this season. On the defensive end the Timberwolves are 18th allowing 116.1 ppg, and 15th with opponents holding a 115.1% true shooting percentage.
