Here at Dunking With Wolves we’ve started a series on predicting how the Minnesota Timberwolves will match up against the potential playoff contenders in the Western Conference.
What is being used as the standard of what teams will be in the potential 2019 playoffs is the playoff standings in the 2018 race.
- Houston Rockets (65-17)
- Golden State Warriors (58-24)
- Portland Trailblazers (49-33)
- Oklahoma City Thunder (48-34)
- Utah Jazz (48-34)
- New Orleans Pelicans (48-34)
- San Antonio Spurs (47-35)
- Minnesota Timberwolves (47-35)
The remaining teams who have a chance of making a splash in the playoffs this year that couldn’t quite make it last year are most likely the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers, so we’ll be taking a look at them too.
