Minnesota Timberwolves Schedule 2019 Timberwolves Schedule

The Timberwolves are a team that has generated a lot of buzz over the last few seasons. Drafting Karl-Anthony Towns and adding in Jimmy Butler to the mix is going to do that. They edged out Denver last year in a regular season playoff game, and the eighth seed ending up being theirs. It is somewhat odd to see Minnesota not on any of the holiday slates. They are not televised on Opening Week, nor do they have a Christmas Day or Martin Luther King Jr Day game. They are only televised once in October, but things pick up when they go to Golden State and then Los Angeles. That regular season playoff game against the Nuggets last season is going to be a rematch at the end of the year. ESPN is already ahead of schedule televising that game. Minnesota is in the most well rounded Western division, facing off against Portland, Oklahoma City, Utah, and Denver four times each. The division were mostly around .500, and the Timberwolves actually had the best division record. They also won 34 games in the West, which was as many as Golden State. Minnesota were two games over .500 against teams above it, and won 21 games against teams that were not. The area where Minnesota struggled was against the East, going 13-17. There were a lot of winnable games there, and Minnesota failed to capitalize on them. We will have to see if that changes this season. The Bucks have 13 back-to-backs scheduled, which is an average amount. There was some turmoil brewing internally in Minnesota, and that is a storyline to keep an eye on this year. This is a team that can go backwards in a hurry, as the Western Conference got tougher with LeBron going to the Lakers.
