The Minnesota Timberwolves are set for a challenging stretch post-All-Star break, starting with a road game against the Houston Rockets, who are currently fourth in the Western Conference. Following this, the Wolves will face tough opponents, including the Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Lakers. However, March brings a favorable schedule with 14 games, nine at home, where they will encounter several teams with losing records, such as the New Orleans Pelicans.

With key players like Mike Conley, Julius Randle, and Donte DiVincenzo expected to return, the Wolves have the potential to leverage this favorable schedule to climb the Western Conference standings. They must capitalize on games against bottom-tier teams like the Charlotte Hornets and Utah Jazz to maintain momentum. Yet, the Wolves have historically struggled against lesser opponents, highlighting the need for consistency to secure wins and avoid a play-in scenario.
