14. Minnesota Timberwolves (46-36)
First Round Matchup: vs. Los Angeles Clippers (play-in)
KAT and company face a tough play-in proposition in Game 1 versus the Clippers. While the Kawhi-less fighting Steve Ballmer’s are not unbeatable, they do possess the playoff pedigree and experience to give Minnesota trouble. However, those fans in the Twin Cities should not fret. The T’Wolves are favorites to get through. Even if they lose to the Clippers, they should have no problems in beating San Antonio or New Orleans.
