How much better are Timberwolves with Rudy Gobert? Not so much, maybe?

The addition of three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert to the Timberwolves roster hasn't moved the needle much for those who predict wins/losses, according to preseason projections.

Caesars Sportsbook posted their first over/under win totals for the 2022-23 season and had the Wolves at 48.5, which is behind Phoenix (53.5), Golden State (52.5), the Los Angeles Clippers (51.5), Memphis (50.5) and Denver (49.5) and tied with Dallas in the Western Conference.

That means the oddsmakers see the Wolves as about two wins better than last season when they finished 46-36, in seventh place in the West.
