Minnesota has been one of the bigger surprises in the NBA this season. While they certainly projected to be a good team, the best team in the Western Conference is not who most people had them being prior to the season, but they have been solid all year.

The first seed is important for a lot of reasons, but perhaps none bigger than securing home court advantage throughout the Western Conference playoffs. The Nuggets have arguably the best home court advantage in basketball, which is why this would help them quite a bit in their quest to repeat as champions.

For a young team like the Timberwolves, home court advantage throughout the West playoffs would also be huge for them and their passionate fanbase.
