Minnesota Timberwolves: Predicting the Wolves’ second-half record
By Paul Langan
Projected Minnesota Timberwolves April record: 5-11
Minnesota’s schedule in April is brutal. Ten of their 16 games in April are against teams who are currently in the No. 8 seed or higher in their respective conference, including the two current No. 1 seeds in the Utah Jazz and Philadelphia 76ers.
Even though the month of April will be a difficult one, the team will hopefully be back at full strength for the first time since the beginning of the season following the returns of both Beasley and Russell.
With a full-strength roster, games against current playoff teams such as Indiana and Golden State seem like they could at least be contested. The Wolves also get to face the 14-21 Sacramento Kings three times in the month.
A key matchup to watch in the month of April is on the 24th and 25th. This will be the first time the Wolves have played Utah since beating them back on Dec. 26, the second game of the season.
A lot has changed since the last matchup for both teams, from a new coach to new players added to the rotation, including Jarred Vanderbilt and Jaden McDaniels.
As for the Jazz, they only have seven losses on the season and are looking like the best team in the league at the moment.
