Timberwolves hanging by a thread entering the final month of the season

- The Minnesota Timberwolves had a cinderella start to the season before suddenly dropping off after the All-Star break and are now just a few losses away from being eliminated from the playoff picture. Can the Timberwolves survive a tough end to the season to punch their ticket to the postseason?
- Karl Anthony-Towns has played better since the the All-Star break, averaging 25.9 points, 3..9 assists and 16.0 rebounds per game. Before the All-Star break, Towns averaged 24.2 points, 3.2 assists and 15.6 rebounds per game. D'Angelo Russell has played the worst, averaging 4.8 fewer points per game. He has averaged 1.2 more assists per game but his points per game has really taken a hit and you can see on the court with all the losses. Kelly Oubre Jr. averages 15.1 points since the All-Star break, which is an improvement over his 13.8 points before the All-Star break. A side mention: Oubre joined the Timberwolves in January via trade.
April 1st, 2020
Record: 29-19
Prediction: A though matchup, the Clippers beat them earlier thanks to Kawhi Leonard's 40+ point night. A loss is likely here.
April 5th, 2020
Record: 32-20
Prediction: The Timberwolves should be able to beat the Spurs. It's a tough matchup but they have enough rest from their contest against the Clippers to put in a good performance.
April 6th, 2020
Record: 20-30
Prediction: The Timberwolves face their weakest opponent left on their schedule - a day after facing the Clippers and Spurs in five days. This could be the trap game that keeps them out of the postseason.
April 10th, 2020
Record: 34-20
Prediction: This could be a possible first round playoff matchup. I want to say the Timberwolves can win this one. They should aim to split the series.
April 11th, 2020
Record: 37-14
Prediction: A day after the Nuggets and they've only lost four at home. I'm pencilling in a loss here.
April 14th, 2020
Record: 22-28
Prediction: The Timberwolves should win here. The Grizzlies have promise for the future but not for now.
April 20th, 2020
Record: 34-20
Prediction: This final game could be interesting. It could decide seeds 4-7 depending on the outcome.

That's one hell of a beatdown of a team of that caliber.
