The Los Angeles Lakers are not having a dream season. Despite the fact that they are in seventh place in the Western Conference just one victory behind the Los Angeles Clippers and, therefore, entering the Play-in, the Lakers are far from the expectations that many had of them at the beginning of the season, taking into account their star-studded squad. That is why they will go in search of improving their statistics to be able to go directly to the playoffs without having to play Play-in.
In the case of the Timberwolves, with a win / loss balance of 16-19 they are in ninth place in the Western Conference (penultimate place that grants a ticket to the Play-in) with just one victory more than the Kings (who they are tenth) but with fewer defeats (19 versus 22 for the Sacramento franchise). That is why they need to win to be able to continue being part of the teams that will play the Play-in and, why not, dream of becoming among the first 6 to go directly to the playoffs.
