The Minnesota Timberwolves are sitting 22-24, a full three games out of the playoff race. Between the Wolves and that 8th seed sit the Los Angeles Lakers, who will get LeBron James back at some point in the near future.
Under Ryan Saunders, the Wolves have gone 3-3 and they look like a team that is going to vacillate around .500 the rest of the way. The Wolves have had a few impressive wins over the Thunder and the Pelicans, but had a rough game against the 76ers and barely got by the Suns.
