The Minnesota Timberwolves will face off against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night with their In-Season Tournament fate on the line.
The Minnesota Timberwolves will learn their fate in the NBA's inaugural In-Season Tournament on Tuesday night when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Timberwolves are currently in fourth place in the Western Conference and have a slim chance of qualifying for the knockout rounds of the tournament. They will need to win their game against the Thunder and hope that other results go their way.
The In-Season Tournament is a new format that was added to the NBA schedule this year. The tournament features eight teams from each conference and is designed to add excitement and competition to the middle of the season. The top two teams from each conference will receive a bye to the semifinals, while the remaining six teams will play in a single-elimination tournament to determine the other two semifinalists. The semifinals and finals of the tournament will be played in a single-elimination format.
