This is the second straight season that the Timberwolves have been in the play-in tournament.  

Last year, they defeated the Los Angeles Clippers and made the NBA Playoffs for the first time since the 2018 season (they lost in the first round to the Memphis Grizzlies). 

This season, the Timberwolves finished as the eighth seed with a 42-40 record. 

They went 7-3 over their final ten games and finished the regular season on a three-game winning streak. 

That said, the Timberwolves are just 20-21 in the 41 games they have played on the road away from the Target Center. 

They have a very talented roster, so if they can get into the playoffs, they will have a chance to win a series. 

As for the Lakers, they are the seventh seed with a 43-39 record and finished the season 8-2 over their final ten games. 

At home, they have been good, going 23-18 in the 41 games they have hosted in Los Angeles, California.
