Minnesota Timberwolves (46-31) versus Charlotte Hornets (42-36) is an inter-conference matchup on Sunday night at Target Center. The Wolves will shoot to win and clinch the only remaining guaranteed playoff spot in the Western Conference. They’re sixth in the standings with a .597 win percentage and four games ahead of the Suns. With four games remaining, a win would guarantee them at least the No. 6 seed.
Like the Wolves, the Hornets are still in the race to secure the automatic playoff positions in the Eastern Conference. They’re eighth in the standings with a .538 win percentage and only three games behind the fifth-placed Atlanta Hawks. However, the Hornets are also just 1.5 games ahead of the tenth-placed Miami Heat, making the Sunday night clash a high-stakes affair.
