Where do the Timberwolves stand in the NBA playoff race?

With one game left in the regular season, the Wolves are 41-40 and in ninth place in the Western Conference and assured a spot in the play-in tournament, where the 7-10 seeds compete to qualify for the NBA playoffs. They can move up to eighth place with a win over the Pelicans on Sunday, and also have an outside chance of gaining the No. 7 seed. The Wolves are one game behind the seventh-place Lakers (42-39) and eighth-place Pelicans (42-39); the Wolves hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Lakers and would claim the tiebreaker over the Pelicans with a win Sunday.

If the season ended now: The Wolves would play the 10th-seeded Thunder (39-42) in the play-in tournament. The Wolves would need to win two play-in games to reach the playoffs: A home game against the Thunder, and then a road game against the loser of the No. 7 vs. No. 8 game, which would be Pelicans at Lakers. If the Wolves moved up to seventh or eighth place, they would have two chances to win game to make the playoffs.
