The Minnesota Timberwolves are on a season-best five-game winning streak. At 15-8, they are now a season-high seven games over .500. Yes, the schedule hasn’t always been all that challenging, but Minnesota has mostly done its job against teams it should beat.
It wasn’t too long ago that the Timberwolves blew two leads in back-to-back games in meltdown fashion. The first of those came against the Suns, a loss that Minnesota is hoping to avenge on Monday night. They are catching Phoenix at the right time as their star player, Devin Booker, is out with a right groin strain.
