TWOLVES SINCE BREAK:

At 26-37, they currently occupy the 11th seed in the conference, 2.5 games back of Denver in eighth. They’ve been one of the best teams in the entire league since returning from the All-Star break, however, as they lead the NBA in multiple team stat categories over that span, including defensive rating, net rating and rebounding percentage. They’re led by young phenom Karl Anthony-Towns, who’s recorded at least 20 points and 14 rebounds in each of their last seven games. Out of all the teams vying for that final seed in the West, Minnesota is the only one without a negative point differential on the season, so it’s possible Friday’s contest could be a potential first round playoff preview.

Minnesota has held its past four opponents — Sacramento, Utah, San Antonio and Los Angeles — under 100 points.
