After a week in which the Wolves went 2-2, Minnesota moved from 13 to 12 in Sports Illustrated’s recent power rankings.
Here’s what SI writer Rohan Nadkarni wrote about the Wolves:
Minnesota is 44-34, seventh in the bloodbath that is the Western Conference. The Wolves are just 1.5 games back from the four seed and just 1.5 games back from ninth place. With four games remaining, anything could happen.
This week, the Wolves don’t play until Thursday. They travel to play the Nuggets on Thursday night in Denver before facing off against the Lakers in Los Angeles the next night.
The Nuggets are just 1.5 games back from the Wolves, so you know they'll be hungry.
The Lakers are No. 20 in the rankings while the Nuggets are 13.
