The Minnesota Timberwolves will return to action Thursday evening on the second night of a back-to-back against the Utah Jazz, after picking up a big win over the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. The Wolves have now won four games in a row for the second time this season, and things look like they are beginning to shift for this squad in a big way.
With that said, Minnesota can not let their foot off the gas. They are in the middle of a stretch of considerably easier scheduling than what they were dealing with to begin January. That will change again in just a couple of weeks, with a massively challenging stretch where they will play Cleveland, Milwaukee, Oklahoma City, Houston, and then Oklahoma City two more times coming up.
Here's everything to know ahead of Thursday night's matchup in Salt Lake City.
