Where do the Timberwolves stand in the NBA playoff race?

With three games left in the regular season, the Wolves are 39-40 and in ninth place in the Western Conference. They are two games behind the Warriors (41-38) and Clippers (41-38) and one-and-a-half games behind the L.A. Lakers (40-38) and Pelicans (40-38), meaning it's almost certain that the Wolves will wind up in the play-in tournament, where the 7-10 seeds compete to qualify for the NBA playoffs. They are one game ahead of 10th-place Oklahoma City (38-41) and two games ahead of 11th-place Dallas (37-42).

If the season ended now: The Wolves would play the 10th-seeded Thunder in the play-in tournament.
